Steven's BIG Adventure!

Some of you may already know this, but Steven had a great opportunity to fly with his friend Mike Chidsey to Oklahoma City, OK. I know...pretty exciting place to go, right!? Well, THAT wasn't the fun part...Mike, working for the Jazz, won a trip to fly WITH the team to one of their games. Pretty schnazy, eyh!? Well, Mike decided to invite Steven to go with him and OF COURSE Steven wasn't about to turn it down! They left Thursday afternoon, flew to Oklahoma WITH the team on their charter plane, then upon arriving had dinner with Randy Rigby (President, Utah Jazz/LHM Sports & Entertainment Group of Companies). After having had so much food to eat decided to take a stroll along the River Walk, how bromantic! Friday they went to the National Cowboy Museum (where you'll see most of these photos came from) then to lunch at Coaches which was inside the AAA stadium with a great view overlooking the field...hence the pictures of the baseball diamond. Another dinner with Randy at Mickey Mantle's Steakhouse then to the BIG game! They flew back to UT right after the game and were home at 12:30 a.m.! Quite the round trip!
Continued after the picture show......



Now, I know you're saying, "hey! What about those Jazz players? What happened to picts with them, or Jerry Sloan, or ANYONE LIVING and important? Sorry Mike, you are important, too. Well, Steven did shake Jerry Sloan's hand and said a few words to Kyle Korver aka the MUMBLER, Deron Williams and CJ Miles and even rode the elevator with Kosta Koufos. He discovered funny quirks of what the players are like when they travel and that there is ALWAYS some kind of great treat to eat on their plane!
