NBA Finals = Great piece of America

Last night we watched game 7 of the NBA Finals. Our older three kids stayed up and watched it with us and I realized that if we lived in the US, then this wouldn't be such a big deal to them. They looked forward to it all day and all 3 of them were glued to the set until the final buzzer. I started switching channels at halftime and they kept telling me to turn it back for fear that they might miss something. They were very upset and yelled at the TV everytime the Pistons scored (even in the 1st quarter.)

It also helped that it was the Spurs in the game. They are a Texas team, from a city the kids had been to, and they are only 150 miles away. This made it seem even more exciting to the kids.

We had a great time and everyone was happy with the Spurs victory. Although I am always aware of how much I miss US sports, the kids enjoyed their little taste of it.

Tonight we are going to the Rangers-Astros game in Houston!!! I'll try to get a picture up here soon.
