Globetrotters

Today we've been to Wembley.

After roast lamb for Sunday lunch we left Nanny and Granddad in charge of the dog, and headed round the M25 and to Wembley Arena, as we had tickets to go and see the Harlem Globetrotters.

We arrived in plenty of time, and went into the arena and made a beeline for the souvenir stall. As well as the obligatory glossy programme, Jake is now the proud owner of an official Harlem Globetrotters basketball, later also supplemented by some Harlem Globetrotters sweatbands.

We grabbed a burger at the arena and waited to head in to find our seats. There was a short delay before we were let in - turned out that the stars had been delayed in a queue on the motorway.

The show itself was lots of fun. The Globetrotters were up against another team styled as the baddies of the piece, and true to the script, ran rings around them. The game was subject to frequent interruptions for more set piece fun and games and audience participation.

I wasn't entirely sure of what to expect today, but they put on a really good show. Jake seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself and was laughing along with all of their antics.
