A Little Laker Love

Yesterday was fun, but crazy. Little Man had two All-Star soccer games (his team tied both) and then we had the chance to meet Luke Walton, starting forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, at a local mattress store. We waited in line for over an hour (it moved excruciatingly slowly). But it was really cool to meet Luke. I told him how great it was as a fan to see him take his game to a higher level this year. He appreciated that. We also chatted a bit about the game the night before--a harrowing double overtime win over the Houston Rockets.

Christian loved meeting Luke. He especially liked it when Luke gave him a high-five while telling him his feauxhawk hairstyle was cool.

We brought an unwrapped gift for charity which, to our surprise, automatically entered us into a raffle for a signed Laker jersey. We missed winning the jersey by just 4 digits. Bummer. No big deal, though. We were happy that Christian got his jersey and basketball signed.
