Lakers Timber Wolves and Magic Mountain

by Noah

I’ve been to a lot of sporting and special events, but the one that comes to mind is my last Lakers game and trip to Magic Mountain.

I love the Lakers and one day around Christmas my grandpa called me to say he had invited me to a Lakers’ game on January 28 2009 in Staples Center!!!! Whoohoo! He also told me he had invited all of my brothers my dad and my uncle.

So we went down to Santa Paula the twenty-sixth of January because that’s where my Grandma and Grandpa live, and on the way up there my Brother Joseph called me to invite me to Magic mountain with two of his friends from the peace core Wow! First I got invited to the Lakers game then Magic Mountain could this trip get any better. I didn’t think so.

We finally got to my Aunt Vanessa’s. I played with my older cousin Larissa for almost the rest of the day besides dinner. Then I slept in my aunt’s guest room.

The next day I woke up around 7:00 I was as tired as a dog when he got done playing. I was tired until around 7:30 when I got a call from my brother right when I looked at the caller ID I was happier than when a cat gets some fish sticks. I answered it and he said he’d pick me up in 5 minutes.

I heard a knock on the door and sure enough it was my brother Joseph. I ran outside he introduced his friends to me and we went to Magic Mountain.

Here we were coming up into the parking lot we parked and I opened the door and ran towards the entrance my brother paid gave the guy the money with two buy one get one free coupons. We went inside the park seeing less than six people in was empty there were no lines. This trip did get better. They recommended that we went on revolution first so we did followed by Ninja (easy smooth ride) and X2 (S.C.A.R.Y Super Crazy Amazing Rough and Yelling). So we went on a lot of the rides most of them gave me butterflies and we finally left.

The next day was the day of the Lakers’ game! I was ready to go. I got everything I needed clothes and a pair of binoculars to see the Lakers’ Girls according to my Grandpa. It was a long drive from Santa Paula to L.A. we took two cars one for me and my brothers the other for everyone else. I slept until we got there. We were here at Staples Center. The first thing we did was get Skyscraper hotdogs they were three feet long! OMG! Then we went inside I was so happy when I saw our seats right below the band.

I’m really here in Staples Center watching the Lakers practice. This is awesome first Magic Mountain now Lakers at Staples Center. Then I see them the Lakers coming out starting to practice and now the Timber wolves. Finally the game is starting; the referee gets the ball it was a toss up between Kobe and some other guy; Kobe Bryant pounds the ball to Odom; and Odom makes the three pointer after that the Lakers were way ahead and continuing through the game.

The Lakers game was awesome they won and every one got free tacos. I went back to my house with a full stomach and a smile.
