Harlem Wizards

On a last minute whim, Camden and I went to see the Harlem Wizards play at Southmont.  It was a fundraiser for the athletic department.  A few of the players had been at her school that day and she wanted to go see them soooooo bad.  They are similar to the Harlem Globetrotters, except they play local people and not another team "in on it".  The Waveland 5th grade teacher was on the team, so Camden liked seeing Mr. McVay on the court.  

 

We had just been in town and were on our way home when she brought it up.  Kevin and I had discussed it earlier in the afternoon, but decided not to go.  But we didn't know they had played it up so much at school. 

Camden loved the atmosphere, but didn't really pay much attention to the action on the floor.  The sound system was pretty poor as well.  So when I decided we would head home at half time (already 8pm!) she didn't have an ounce of problem with it.

Before we left, we headed to the souvenir stand where she got a small trinket and a few autographs on her boot (the only thing I would let them write on with a sharpie). 

She loved the evening.  If she were a little older, we would have stayed for more of the action.  I think the second half was filled with more audience participation and even some prizes.  Regardless, Camden declared it, "such fun" so we won't worry about the "short" evening!
