Birthday Festivities Begin

On the eve of Emi's 11th birthday, we said we could get him the newest version of the Xbox One sports games he likes to play, or he could go with me to see the Thunder play against Toronto.
On the drive down, we listened to an audio book recording of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" read by Nick Offerman. Before the game, Emi said he wasn't sure which team he'd be rooting for, but I told him we had to root for the home team. After we parked, we bought tickets on the lower level from a guy standing outside the gate. He offered them to us for $65 each, but we got them for $40.

During the game, we ate popcorn and nachos. The Thunder scored the first 12 points in the game but ended up losing 102-112. Russell Westbrook scored 36 for the Thunder; DeMar DeRozan scored 37 for the Raptors.

On the drive home, we got vanilla Frosties at Wendy's, and listened to some more Tom until one of us fell asleep. Fortunately, it wasn't me.
