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!!!!

Our First Grizzlies Game

Warning: These pictures are taken with a camera phone.

Not the best but we captured the moment!

For my birthday Chris and Chelsie they gave Dave and I tickets to the Grizzlies game. They got the best seats-front row up against the glass. Our first hockey game and it was a blast!!!! We

went to dinner and then to the game but we were like an hour early. So we watched the team warm up and was like a little kid all giddy. Chris told me to tap on the glass and ask one of the hockey players for a puck. Sure enough he gave me one. I was on cloud nine thinking how cool it was. I got startled a few times because we were so close and they would slam each other into the glass. Hockey players are brutal.

The first 3 seconds into the game they broke out in a fight and about every 10 mins the seemed to be one after another. Very entertaining unlike some sports there is always excitement.

After the first quarter all the mascots got on the ice and goofed around with the crowd. They danced to the Y.M.C.A. The U of U mascot came over to our side and tried to get Dave to participate. He just sat there like a bump on a log. Ignoring the bird and the bird started making fun and taunting Dave. Dave pointed to the bird and flapped his wings like a chicken. The mascot gestured to Dave that he was gonna slit his throat. You know your dead kind of thing. All in fun.

The quarter started and one min we are watching the game the next minute.........................










Dave is getting a can of silly string emptied on him! It was hilarious!!! Even more funny was the people around us got silly string in their beer. The sick thing was there was this lady took most of it out and still drank it. Now that's devotion.

The Grizzlies won 5-2!!!! The tickets are not bad to buy they have tickets $10 on up. Our tickets were about $32 because we were on the first row. They even have a family section that no drinking allowed which I thought was cool. They also let anyone skate around the rink after the game. To top it all off we got 2 hockey pucks on was signed and four tickets to a Bees game. So our fun will continue on!!!!
