The JAZZ game

If any of you know Kent, then you know what a sports FANATIC he is. The fact that Ethan wants to watch and play sports more than Kent will tell you a little bit about how much Ethan loves sports too. Since Ethan got a basketball hoop for Christmas (Brent and Erin know what he likes) he literally is dribbling and shooting the ball all day long. Ethan and Kent have a great time watching the Utah Jazz play. When the team had a game to play again Portland, Kent decided to take Ethan to see them play in person. We checked Ethan out of school early, all of us piled in the car and drove to Portland. In Portland, Kent and Ethan met up with Kathy and Jory to go to the game. After the game Ethan was so excited telling me how tall the players were, who won (the JAZZ), what the score was, where they were sitting, etc. I loved it when he said, "They were as tall as Dad and me put together!" I could tell he had the greatest time with his dad that he won't forget very soon. Ethan even got some high-fives from the team on their way to the locker room. While they were at the game, Ella and I decided to hit the mall and get a manicure and then did some serious shopping. While we were at the mall, we ate dinner at a restaurant that was showing the Jazz game. Kent, Ethan, Kathy and Jory were sitting right behind the Jazz, so we were able to see them on TV. It was so fun.

The next day we had breakfast with Kathy and Jory before they drove home. Then Kent played with the kids in the hotel pool for awhile. After spending some time in Portland and then drove back home. It was a great family vacation.

When we got home, Ethan would NOT stop doing slam dunks.
