AWESOME WEEKEND....
Friday Night, Hubby got tickets for the Blackhawks Hockey Game right on the ice! That was what he wanted for his Birthday, so just the two of us went and it was....UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We sat First Row right next to the Boards. Now I know what your thinking...but for a "retired" Hockey Mom, it was really exciting...here are a few pictures.
The first is my glass of wine sitting on the ledge and just look how close we were to the ice!!! How cool is that? And then, the Blackhawks came out to practice and WOW...

The Captan, Jonathan Toews, is on at the end talking about game highlights!!!
We had a blast and it brought back soooooo many memories of my then, little guy, Mike who was 4 yrs old when he started playing hockey (now he is 19-going on 20 yrs old). Mike is in college and doesn't play anymore, but those years that he did, we some of the best years of my life, I just LOVED watching my "little guy" out on that ice!!
That was Friday and then on Saturday, I took my nephew (who is about 25 yrs old) horsebackriding for the 1st time, he has been talking about it for so long, so I called the barn where I ride and got him on a horse.
Hope everyone in blogland had a great one too!!

Hugs,

Looks like an exiting weekend. Glad you had so much fun and shared it with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time you had! My highlight when we went to the Admirals hockey game in Milwaukee was to be up on that big board with my hubby and my friends with those giant foam fingers.... as soon as I saw my face, I hid in my husbands shoulder...
