Goal!

This spring, the boys' grades earned them both free hockey tickets from the local NHL team. Unfortunately, Will (the only person in our family who knows much about hockey) was traveling and couldn't make it. So... our friend Charlene gamely agreed to come along for a new experience.

Turns out, as in all major league events, a lot more than just hockey happens at one of these games. The kids had a blast, although Chase got tired of sitting. Graham watched the game and the zamboni machine. Gabriella decided she wants to be one of the girls in the cheerleading uniform who scrapes the snow off the ice (who needs college?). The cannon was too loud, and watching their first fight was a little unnerving (WHY ARE THEY HITTING EACH OTHER???). But overall, we had a wonderful time with Charlene, and they are looking forward to next year.
