Nuggets High Five Squad

Marina's school district had a special for the Denver Nuggets game this evening. Marina had never been to a Nuggets game before and she was looking forward to it. She brought Grace along in a Nuggets jersey!

To add to the excitement, Marina was one of 20 kids chosen to be part of the Nuggets High Five Squad. We met at the arena early and given a yellow t-shirt. Then they were led onto the court before the game. When the Nuggets team entered, the players gave each child a high five. After it was over, Marina had a huge smile on her face. "That was fun!" she gushed.

We bought some popcorn and drinks and went to our seats. We had a great view of the court and Marina seemed to enjoy watching the game. She cheered loudly throughout the game. A group of boys her age were sitting near us, so she joined in their antics. It got her on the big screen a few times.

The Nuggets won the game and ended up tossing quite a few freebies into the crowd. Marina was hopeful to catch something, but we were too far away. Despite that, she'd had a great time at her first professional basketball game!
