Celtics Night

I've totally procrastinated and didn't import these pictures from the Celtics game we went to several weeks ago.  Alex and a group of kids from the Y were able to play on the court at half time.  It was incredible.  I was fortunate to be able to go down with them and was actually kneeling on the Celtics court.  And I was standing next to Ray Allen for like a millisecond.  By the way if you think Shaq is big you should see him up close, he's HUGE!

Ray Allen using my telelphoto lens from way up in the halo.  It's awesome to sit up there, cushy seat, counter to put your snacks on etc.

Lucky getting everyone riled up

The Celtics!

This what Alex did during the whole game.  Every once in a while he'd ask when he was going to play then went back to his book.

Rachel was super exctied because her friend Grace was sitting next to her.

The guys before they headed down to play.  They're slightly excited.

Walking through the promenade area to take the special elevator down to the court.

Alex was a about to burst he was so excited.

Meeting at half court to shake hands

He's ready.  He played great, showed how good he is at defense, the kid he was guarding didn't touch the ball all game.  Alex got a rebound and was able to take a shot.

I do beleive this is where he was skippng down the court.

After the game

According to Alex this was one of the best days of his life!

Because after playing onthe court they got to watch Lucky warm up and met him.  Alex now wants a trampoline for his birthday.
