Rink Side

After a long day of working my wonderful husband took me to a hockey game. I was feeling a little bit guilty because I hadn't seen my kids all day long. It was a much needed date!

It was military night so, they had all these military men, women, and their families there. It was pretty cool. They even repelled from the celling. I know I don't appreciate all men and women that are defending this country. We are so fortunate and I was honored to honor them that night!
Dave couldn't believe that I took a picture of this.....but our neighbors sat their cups up against the ledge of the glass. Dave was right next to the dad and he look at it and then looked at me and said, "If I get those drinks spill on me I will be pissed" This must of been their first hockey game because seconds after the game began there was a fight right in front of them all 4 sodas came crashing down. Dave said, "Well at least it wasn't a $5 beer"

I personally think the hockey players did it on purpose. C'mon seconds in the game...aimed right there? Dave HATES to take a picture but I have yet to see a bad picture of him. If I could be so lucky!
This is Chris (future bro-in law) and Chelsie (Dave's little sister) They got the tickets for Dave.
Once again Dave shook his head at me taking this picture. Every time the Grizzlies got a goal she would be there shaking here cow bell. She got so into it-it was so entertaining to just watch her.
We all got into it. Especially the fights OMGosh there was like so many. In fact at one point there were only 3 players from each team on the ice.
This was one of my freebies from the Army. Dave just laughed as I sported this great beanie. The best part of all the freebies is that I gave it to my kids and they were in awww at all the stuff we got them-and it didn't cost me anything for their happiness (well other than the tickets)
The Grizzlies won 8-3 yeah!
There is a night in Jan were all the seats are just $5 .....so were are thinking that we are gonna surprise the kids for Christmas with some tickets-I can't wait!!!!

I loved the old lady ringing the bell. That's awesome she was so into it. I haven't been to a hockey game FOREVER. Looks like a fun night (minus the spilled drinks). I'm usually the one to set my purse down in that kind of stuff. I bet your kids will be thrilled about the tickets.

How fun! We just went to a game on Friday night. Yes I got your email. I am still trying to decide on what size. Have a great Thanksgiving!
