Hockey! Fight Fight!

We try to find fun things to do as a family all the time, but with an age gap between the "big" kids and Alex, sometimes it's a gamble. Brett decided to get hockey tickets for the whole family, and we went last night - it was so much fun for everyone!

Here is a picture of the kids outside the Grizzlies Hockey store. Everyone got their own hoodie sweatshirt for future games.
Once we got inside and settled into our seats, I could tell that this was going to be a great time!
Here are dad and Alex smiling for the camera. This was his very first game!
McKaleigh and Colton - as you can see, by the cane, I still needed some assistance getting to the game! But my ankle is healing.
McKaleigh looking concerned about a call against our team. She says that after this game, she can see why everyone "boo's" the refs!

The crowning moment of any hockey game...the kids wait all game long for a good fight - which is inevitable. You can see McKaleigh yelling "fight fight" and Colton taking in the hits. The kids were really sad because when they went to get drinks and popcorn with dad there was a huge fight right in front of us...and we were only 4 rows from the glass! Oh well, better luck next time.
Silly Alex!
McKaleigh and Colton went down to pose with the bear...Alex was too afraid of him, and kept a good eye on where he was the whole game.
Alex watching the big kids get their picture with the Bear...He was not so sure about it!

We had a great time as a family and look forward to more sports like outings!

Looks fun! Maybe we'll have to go with you sometime. Elliot loves watching hockey. Mallory's soccer games are at Seven Peaks ice arena and he would rather watch the hockey than Mal's game!
