THE BOYS FIRST HOCKEY GAME

Saturday, we took the boys to their first hockey game, and boy did we have fun.  There are only two sports I can tolerate and that's hockey and basketball.   I managed to score a set of 4 tickets for $25, so we chose this past Saturday to go.  Of course little did we know, we managed to go on Breast Cancer Awareness night.  It was really neat how they had survivors stories throughout the game.  There was one lady who had 43 rounds of  chemo, and she looked GREAT!!  I've got a bunch of pictures, to my husband's chagrin (he says it's like traveling with the paparazzi when he goes with me anywhere). I'll attempt to hit the highlights with the pictures, and some explanations. 

This was me and the boys before the game.  I'm slouching, but the boys were ready to go...they couldn't wait.  See the excitement on their faces???

  The rink with the pink overtones as the team was getting ready to come out.

The team as they came out on the rink.  They were wearing pink jersey's.

The rink after the lights came on.  Yes we had crappy seats, but for $25 for all 4 of us...not complaining.

C was making a face, I'm not quite sure why.  Did I mention, he kept yelling "GO BREAST CANCER?"  I was like um....really???? I'm pretty sure that's not sounding right. 

Josh had Micah, who wasn't quite sure what he thought about this experience in the beginning.  It was very loud.

REALLY MOM?????

The cheerleaders and the survivors during one of the breaks.  this was kind of neat.

The smoothie king kids...the orange kept falling down.  Poor kid, 13,000+ people were laughing at him!!

The Chic Fil A Blimp.  The boys were disappointed it didn't come to our side of the stadium.  What can you expect when you're in the crappy seats?? haha

Again with the weird looks...

M hollering "Goooooo checkers"

They had a promo they showed for the mummy exhibit at the Discovery Place.  Some pretty graphic pictures of the mummies.  C's expression below says it all....LOL

The Breast Cancer truck outside after the game.  They just HAD to climb on it, and I didn't see the harm.  Made a cute pic after all...

A little blurry, but a closer shot.  It was night time, and there were a LOT of lights, not to mention moving children and a cell phone camera...

Both the boys were exhausted and fell asleep on the way home.   10PM is waaaaay past their bedtime.  Definitely a great time at the game, even though the boys were pretty ticked we would not let them have cotton candy.  We did however, spend a little and got them a drink (water) and popcorn.  Ok so we spent a LOT.  Concessions are ridiculous these days!!
