Harlem Globetrotters you made our night




If any of you know the boys well they are crazy Basketball fans. For the longest time they have been watching you tube videos of the Harlem Globetrotters. When Daddy Mark was in the hospital last month we had a little time to talk and new they were coming to town.

We decided to surprise the boys with tickets last night. We know that planning something like this is very tricky as Brocs health has not been the greatest and he tires so easily nowadays. We also had to take the chance of him getting ill and being in the hospital and us gifting the tickets to someone else. Thankfully Broc has stayed relatively well and we were able to make it happen last night.

Driving there the boys had no idea until we parked and Lil Mark whispered it to me and I said yes but we still kept it from Broc. He about blew up once he got inside knowing where we were going. The biggest smile on his face and the squeals of excitement were so worth the crazy snowy drive there and back.

We did sit in handicap seating which is unfortunately not near the players at all but nevertheless we enjoyed the show. To hear the boys scream and shout and squeal with laughter was priceless. Daddy and I enjoyed ourselves too.

Once the game was over everyone was invited to come down and see the players and get a ball signed if you were chosen to come under the yellow rope. So I thought well we will go down and maybe Lil Mark can stand in the forever line and hopefully get his ball signed by one player. Off we went to stand in the line. I said to Mark lets get a little closer so I can at least take a pic of one of one of the players close up. A man taps Daddy Mark on the shoulder and says come with me. We are escorted onto the court under the yellow rope and taken to one of the players to meet them and have Marks ball signed and take a pic. It was so amazing how they took time out to speak to Broc and Mark and shake our hands and take a pic. I was over the moon for the boys and though wow this is so cool, we have one players signature. I would have been fine with that, that's really all we wanted. NOPE we get escorted to the next player and the next and the next until we had Lil Marks ball signed by all the players and got our picture taken with them all.

WOW. Notre Dame Stadium Staff  and Harlem Globetrotters went above and beyond for 2 boys to make a surprise night even more special. Thank you so much for you kindness and patience. It was a night our family will never forget.




















Thank you everyone for an amazing night that the boys will never forget.
