watching a hockey game

One of the perks of Andy's job is that he gets offered tickets for different sporting events. He got offered tickets to an Indianapolis Ice hockey game last Friday and we decided to take all the boys along. The boys had seen hockey on tv, but had never been to a live game. They mostly had a good time. I think we were able to teach Marcus and Cale a little more about the game. Ewan liked looking around for the furry mascot and Liam just liked the constant action on the ice. We made it through the whole game! (or, we forced them to stay the whole game-they were ready to leave) We were thankful for those tickets because it totally saved us about $80. Of course, I brought the camera.

Marcus didn't want his picture taken. And, was a little angry that we wouldn't buy food at the game. I brought snacks for the boys and they had dinner before we went to the game. He also wanted a hockey stick. We pointed out that maybe he needs to learn to ice skate first, and how about he works on his roller blades before that. But, he liked watching the game and figuring out what was going on.

The boys got to see the hockey store dog-Puck and met the furry mascot. Only Cale and Liam were brave enough to go up an actually meet him. Marcus hung back and Ewan smiled at him behind my legs.

I hope we have the chance to go back. It was a fun time.
