Timberwolves and Magic and the Klimeks at the Target Center

The Klimie Kids and their Dad had a fun night of basketball on New Year's Night when they went to the Target Center to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves take on the Orlando Magic! Thanks to Jamie's newfound friend on Craigslist, they got four awesome seats in the fourth row at half-court behind the player's benches in the V.I.P. section! WOW!

Jamie took my little point-and-shoot camera along to capture a few pictures of the evening....

Here are the kids, enjoying their seats in the V.I.P. area...~~~

And AGAIN with the cheerleaders!!!!

(I wonder who had control of the camera?!?!)

Part of the V.I.P. tickets included passes to the "Back Court"--a club surrounding the area where the players go to and from the locker room. The kids got to see the players (thru the crowd of other V.I.P.'s) going back and forth. There was also a rumor that some of the Viking players hang out in the "Back Court" during some of the games, but there weren't any there tonight--bummer!

Here are the kids having prime rib sandwiches at the club...

Andrew sampled one of the interesting ammenities of the "Back Court" club--

an Oxygen Bar!

The kids and Jamie had a great time together at the game. The Timberwolves ended up losing by a score of 94 to 106, although it was pretty close until the fourth quarter (I watched the game on TV). We are hoping to be able to go again sometime--perhaps when the LAKERS are in town!

We love Basketball!
