Something Borrowed...

Remember how the Mavs won the NBA Championship?


Well, they were going to have a parade in Downtown Dallas. I was bound and determined to go, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. To see a parade of very tall men, one of whom is German? Yes, please. How often does your favorite sports team have a parade just down the road? Not too often. The parade was Thursday and a fellow Mom and Mavs fan and I decided it was totally worth the hassle.

Reports started rolling in about the astronomical amount of people that were going to attend, and the heat being so close to the hundreds it could kiss them. Somehow 2 moms with, 2 strollers, 3 small children, and hoards of crazy basketball fans didn't seem to add up to a fun time. Instead we donned our Mavs gear and watched the parade from the comfort of Jodie's home.

Yes, that is the official Mavs Championship shirt. And yes, when Aaron found out that we were having girl his first purchase for that little fetus was pink Mavs gear. All of the small infant stuff was sold out so Aaron bought her outfits in 2T size. Who knew that said outfits would fit perfectly when it mattered the most.

To be honest the parade was kind of lame, but it was a fun excuse to hang out on a Thursday morning. Things got pretty exciting toward the end of the parade when the star of the Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzski, led all the fans in a baritone-German-accent version of "We Are the Champions." It was epic, to say the least. We are definitely true blue Mavs fans.
