Saturday night was the best night we've had in a long time. We took Alanna to a Saskatoon Blades game! Now while I'm not the biggest hockey fan I really enjoy going to any live sporting event. The best part really was watching Alanna.
The first period made it really easy to get into the game. Saskatoon scored three goals and there were two fights all in about 15 minutes. We told Alanna that it is only okay to fight in hockey, and only if you are a "real" hockey player. This made fer comfortable to stand up and yell "fight, fight, fight" at the appropriate times. Her favorite part was the penalty box. She loved the idea that these adults got a time out for doing bad things just like she does.
On the way home she said "this was the best family day in the whole part of my life"! Made us feel like parents of the year. She was also amazed that the Blades won 5 to 1, she says "boy the Americans must REALLY suck"!
The photographer for Jonny's band is also the photographer for the Blades. We were sitting up in the nose bleed section but he was up in the rafters and took a picture of us from there so that we would have a little momento of the evening.
In other news after Heroes last night (which by the way was an excellent episode) a new series premiered called "The Black Donnelly's". It's about five twenty something Irish-American boys who are involved in mod like activity. It looks pretty good. Normally I only commit myself to one tv series but I figure if it's going to be on right after Heroes it is okay to get involved in this one as well.
Off to chat n play now - catch you on the flip side (I wonder who ever invented that saying, it's really quite dumb)

hockey games are great fun. i haven't taken Cassidy to one yet, but she would probably love a Flames game. Until the end of O Canada, then she'd get bored.
I initially thought she would get bored at least after the first period but she was so sad to leave. She was pumped through the whole thing.
hey great blog! i love family days with MY parents and siblings, and i'm 24! haha. truly.
anyway that is a nice picture of all of you! blades games are fun, once in awhile. i'll be at the oilers game tomorrow night, so that should be pretty fun! you know that though cuz i have talked about it 1000 times on my blog :)hope you have a great weekend!
That was one of my favorite things to do when I was younger too. I absolutely LOVED it when my dad took me to hockey games (Swift Current Bronkos)!!! Great memory- thanks.
