Semi Finals

I took Hans to his very first Raptors' game a few weeks ago. Within a few minutes, he was in sync with the crowd as they yelled in unison "DEFENCE!! DEFENCE‎!!".

It is, in general, a great feeling to support our team. For a child, I suppose, it is amazing to scream and shout‎, and not be told to be quiet! Personally, it was too loud for me; but then, it was a great opportunity to share an experience with Hans...it was my first time at a Raptors' game as well!!

Lucky for us rookies, ‎it was also the 20th Anniversary of the Raptors!! We got to see the "6 Founders" and we also got a performance by the original "Raptors' Girls". So much excitement and to top it off, one of the boyfriends decides to propose to one of the original "Raptors' Girls"!! Hans was truly enchanted by everything that happened. It was also good that the Raptors won the game.

When we got home, Hans declared that he loves Basketball and he loves the Toronto Raptors. He just had one question about the guy proposing to his girlfriend. Hans didn't understand why the crowd clapped and cheered?! I told him that the couple are engaged and everyone was happy for them!! Hans didn't get it and I told him that "engagement is something that happens before a wedding". Hans got it and he confirmed it by stating that "it is like the semifinals before the final"!

The things we learn at a Basketball game.
