Blazer Day for the Lady Vikings!

The grand finale for the day was watching the Blazers take on the Toronto Raptors. In overtime the Raptors won 101 to 100 (and that 100 points got each of us a free chalupa coupon at Taco Bell!).

Blazer Day!

The Forest Grove Lady Vikings basketball team enjoys a TrailBlazer game day. Started at 10:30 am and got back home after 11 pm! Long day, but fun! (here is a picture of the girls outside the Rose Garden Arena before getting to play on the court from 2-4 pm).

Alexi's dad, Jody, and me hauling nine basketball bags from Lloyd Center to Rose Garden Arena so the girls don't have to pack their bags around all day.

Mary and Haley...showing their Filipino attitude. (notice the button noses)

Near the Skidmore Fountain at the Saturday Market. (Haley, Mary, Michelle, Alexi)

Kristie, Alexi, and Michelle...modeling at the Saturday Market.

With one of the performers at the Saturday Market. He asked where the girls were from and then got all excited, saying he is an assistant tennis coach at the FGHS. Then had the girls help him play a song (on video).

Crowded onto the train, headed for the Saturday Market!

At the MAX station across from Lloyd Center. Waiting to catch train to go to "Saturday Market".

A group picture at Holladay Park. ( We traveled through this little park several times during the day. Behind the girls, if you look closely, you can see a parking structure. It is next to Macy's at the Lloyd Center. That is where we parked the cars during the day.)
