Ahhhhhhh the life of a hockey family. This past weekend was hockey central in our household between Kurt's highschool game Friday, Nick's double header Saturday and Eric and Ty's Jamboree Saturday and Sunday.
With 4 games in 3 different town's on Saturday all I can say is thank goodness for Grandpa's help and I count my blessings that Kurt didn't have a highschool game on Saturday.
Kurt got home at about 2am on Saturday morning only to have to wake up early Saturday to transport 3 squirts to Greenway for a game. While Kurt had Nick and some of his teammates in Greenway, I picked up Papa and headed for Virginia with Eric and Ty for their Jamboree. After the games in Virginia we headed for Hibbing to catch Nick's final game of the day.
Kurt drove home with Papa Saturday evening (it was trout fishing opener you know!!) and I stayed at a hotel in Virginia with my boys and Kyle. Yes, I stayed in a hotel only 1 hour from our house - but you would too if you had 4 boys with you and would have had to travel back to Virginia again at 6:30am after getting home at 9:30 that night. So, I took the easy way out and relaxed by the pool while the boys swam.
Sunday we were back at the arena for another 4 games with Eric and Ty. Ty was so excited to play in his first "real" games. He skated around with a huge grin on his face the entire time and even hit the puck a couple of times. His mini-mite games are hilarious to watch all the kids are between 4-6 years old and it seems when one of them falls down (which happens often) they all seem to crash to the ice. Very cute.
Apparently Ty must have skated really really hard during his morning game on Sunday because this is how he slept through Eric's game. Never woke up - even with me cheering. This kid can sleep anywhere!!
After re-energizing for his final game Ty got to skate up and receive his medal for the weekend. You would have thought that he won a gold medal at the Olympics for how excited he was!!
Eric had an amazing hockey weekend too. With 2 goals and 4 assists for the three games he played he was very proud. But, the most exciting thing to happen to him was his breakaway and when he shot the puck it bounced off of the goalie's forehead. Even though he didn't get the goal he thought it was cool. Eric's mite team played super hard and really work well together. Can't wait for the next game!!So, we are home again and preparing for another busy week of hockey. 2 highschool games, 2 squirt games this coming weekend and weeknights filled with practices for all 3 boys. I am so glad that we live only 4 blocks from the arena.
GO TIMBERWOLVES!!
