Thunder Up!!

Thanks to Dad's generosity and tickets being available yesterday, Rach and I went to the Thunder game this afternoon!!  (Game 7, OKC Thunder vs. Denver Nuggets in the Playoffs)

Cool staircase when you enter the Paycom Center!

This game was at 2:30, which was perfect for us!  I didn't realize we would get free t-shirts and fan-bammers (dumb name, but it's actually what the noisemaker fans are called), so that was all a fun surprise! =)

The crowd energy was Bedlam-level electric -- just what I was hoping for! lol

It brings me joy that one of the starters on this team is named Chet, and that he happens to be #7!  He shot several free throws, and there was a crazy loud guy on our row who cheered for him repeatedly:  "You got this, Chet... C'MON, CHET!!"  I tried and failed to get a video to send to Chettles. lol

Rumble isn't my fav mascot, but I love the gigantic flag! =)

Yes, please!!  It was intense and fantastic - meriting multiple "loud atmosphere" warnings from my Apple Watch. lol

Much to Rachael's dismay, I made us stay for all of it, then I called her over to get this one last pic on our way out! lol

They were behind through the first quarter, but the Thunder found their stride and ended up winning by 32 points (125 to 93), so they're advancing to the Western Conference Finals!  It made me laugh that the crowd was still chanting "OKC!  OKC!!" on our walk back to the car. lol (We parked by Harkins, and traffic wasn't too bad getting home.)

Rach and I had fun and a had a good talk on the drives, then we had an impromptu family dinner at Mom and Dad's, where the kids had been swimming that afternoon.  We kept an eye on the tornado warnings and talked about their coming last week of school while Kyndal made bracelets and Jace tried on his suit for us.

All in all, it's been a fun weekend with the fam, and I feel very grateful!!
