H*O*C*K*E*Y

We went to our first hockey game last night.....as Papa Michael got 4 free tickets to the Dubuque Fighting Saints Game at the new Mystic Ice Arena. His tickets also included four free meals and eight free drinks....so we had a FREE night of fun! Grandma Peggy stayed home with Molly and Papa, Daddy, Kelly, and Mommy were able to enjoy a fun night! We weren't sure how Kelly would do at the game....since she didn't even know what hockey was (she thought we were going to watch air hockey....like she got to play at Chuck-E-Cheese one time!) Kelly absolutely LOVED it.....she especially loved the dance music that was contstantly played, the fact that we had front row seats and she could see everything, and she enjoyed that she could be as loud as she wanted! It was a great game, as the Saints were down 3-0 in the last period. They scored three goals in that last period (literally, right in front of us) and forced a 5 minute overtime period. The score was still tied after the overtime period which forced a shootout. The Saints WON in the shootout....which was especially fun.....as they said it was the best come from behind win of the season!

Kelly once we got to our seats before the warm-up period began. Our seats were right there...front row....right by the goal the Saints were shooting in for the first and third periods.
During intermission the Dog mascot skated around throwing out blow things....Kelly was able to see him up close and thought that was pretty cool.
Kelly holding her blow thingy that she loves!
Kelly cheering LOUD!
This is how Kelly reacted most of the game when everyone else cheered! She was so excited!
Thank you Papa Michael for a free night of fun!

Mommy, Daddy, and Kelly all had a great time!!!
