Hockey Night in Arizona

2nd game this year, and G may be a fan for life.   Tell her in the morning we are going to hockey, and she starts asking if she can get french fries and a hot dog.   She says “our team is red” in the car ride over, and asks when we can start howling.

We don’t actually watch much hockey, its more an elaborate trip to an elaborate park where both girls get to run crazy.   I think I watched 14 minutes of action total.   Ironic that G was throwing a fit in the parking lot about how we’d miss the game when Mommy and Daddy were trying to get their tailgate on. We got her fries and a hot dog, and she promptly spilled her drink on the pile of extra napkins. Hurricane Genevieve gets her game face on.

G is a fan of cheering

This made it 4-0 in the end of the 3rd, and we still had to drag G home.

  1. Wow…what a fancy hockey rink….it looks like you have box seats…how great with the kids. We squush into small ailes and seats and climb over neighbors and get food/beer dumped every time folks jump up and down…but the Preds are doing well. Alana is such a cute little butterball in that yellow jacket and pants. Deb, Andy and Andy’s family are going to see the Preds the day after Christmas. Merry Christmas to you all and give G a hug.
