Hockey Night in Smalliver



It's a New Year of firsts so bring it on...
Our first born went to his first hockey game yesterday. And what better game to go and watch but your own daddy's first ever hockey game. Now bear in mind that Scott has only been on skates about 5 times this season since being a kid and he has never played a full game of hockey on ice in his life. And this game was for charity for the local WHA team against the volunteer fire department of which Scott is a member. He was a little apprehensive on how he would do on the ice considering he just taught himself how to stop properly last week and he still hasn't quite mastered the art of skating backwards. And of course the fear of falling as he didn't know how he was going to get up once down on the ice.




But those fears aside, it was a great small town night of entertainment for all who attended. We are very proud of our local fire department, especially for bringing their game to the ice and slapping the puck around with the with this much younger, more experienced team. And Jackson and I are proud of Scott for lacing up his skates and showing us that he gave it his all and had a lot of fun in the process. Way to go #20 Daddy Scooter!

Yah for Scott! That takes courage. Good for you.

Thanks for the sweet comments on your blog Joanne. I will bring down my Christmas journal on our next visit.

Can't wait to see baby Jackson.
