We loved hockey games! The Sharks wore a green jersey and we would shout and cheer for them! Sometimes I would even help keep the score. It was cold in the hockey rink but we didn't mind! :) You do things like freeze and being cold to have fun as teenagers! I did like the game though when things stayed calm. With Mike being a goalie, I never expected him to end up in a fight or in the penalty box. Yeah!!!
Mike went searching for some hockey gear! He sold all his equipment years ago and hadn't suited up as a goalie for a long, long time. He got contacted with Buddy's mom and he borrowed all his equipment for the night.
He walked in the back door with this humongous bag over his shoulder! I couldn't help but chuckle! Of course, I asked him if he still knows how to carry that bag anymore? "Oh, yeah!" :) We watched him as he tried on the equipment making sure everything fits good enough for a few hours of fun! He was excited and Matthew was right beside Mike handing him the next item!
Matthew got all bundled up to and grabbed his skates. There was no way he was going to miss this! Watching his dad play goalie and hockey was exciting!
After supper, Jr and Jayden picked up Mike and Matthew. Kinda like old days there to. :) Jr and Mike went to many, many of their games together! They also picked up Matt and Hunter and they were off to skate and play hockey!
The girls and I didn't want to miss seeing this either, so after the dishes were all cleaned, we got dressed warm and headed out to watch too. The chicken house was old and beat up. Wind was going right through it. It was cold but that what you want to keep the ice frozen! We walked in and saw the boys and Hunter watching their dads warm up. Hunter sat on this old couch and cheered. So cute! He was happy to see Ashlyn come and they cheered together!
The game started and the men started to skate hard. They scored a few and the younger guys they played against scored some too. We were only able to watch for about 45 minutes before we had to leave for Hadassah's basketball game. "Go Sharks!!!" Fun to watch this happen once again! :)
We dropped Hunter off at his house. He was brave and loved every bit of it as he watched. His little nose was red and cold but he didn't seem to mind a bit. :) Then we went to Hadassah's basketball game at school. She's doing great with this sport and really loves to play! Her team won!
When we all got back home from our winter sports night out, some of us were sore. :) Playing winter sports is fun and it helps keep the winter weeks go faster. However, we are very ready to start thinking about the Spring/Summer sports! Riding bike, hitting baseballs, playing volleyball outside, swimming ... we are ready!!! Now we just need the right weather conditions for it all!
This is the last week of February and March is right around the corner! Spring is in March and so that means only a few more weeks of winter are left! I can enjoy today. I look forward to tomorrow. I can't wait for Spring! And then remodeling the house. Next Summer. Then baby will arrive! Oh yes! I can't wait!
