On Saturday, February 12th, the Orlando Magic hosted "Meet the Magic" at Amway Center for season ticketholders to meet Magic players, cheerleaders, play at Stuff's Magic Castle, and they gave us free soda and popcorn as well. I have to tell you, this is an organization that does things right.
We renewed our season tix for next year, so we were able to obtain a "fast pass" and jump to the front of lines to get autographs and pictures with the players. A definite plus with 2 small kids!! And one of them (and I'm not naming names, but he is 2 yrs. old and is stinkin' adorable!) did not nap...again! He started falling asleep on our shoulders a few times.
Katelyn and Bryan with Ryan Anderson at Stuff's Magic Castle (the awesome indoor playground at Amway).
Brady making a dunk at Amway. The kid's area really is awesome!
Bryan, Brady, and Katelyn with Bo Outlaw, former Magic player now in charge of community relations. He's such a nice guy and we've met him several times. Last month, he was with us at a dinner at Amway...he has great stories!
The kids and I with J.J. Redick...one of K's faves. So tall!!
Jameer Nelson, one of my faves. We took a family pic with him as well and they had a professional photographer there and you got you 5x7 for free. It's a great pic! I need to figure out my scanner!
As we were leaving, Dwight Howard was walking to the outdoor terrace/bar "Gentelman Jack's." We followed him and he greeted the small crowd out there and did some karoake with some fans. He is such a cool guy!
The absolute highlight: Katelyn had drawn a picture of her and Dwight playing basketball outside. She carried it all day long in hopes of seeing him. Bryan was able to pass the picture to a Magic employee, who gave it to Dwight. He held up the picture as he was doing karoake for everyone to see. You should've seen K's face! Total shock and happiness! He made our day!
