This Weekend Update - Hockey

Boy, we sure had the rip-roaring hockey weekend, and I for one enjoyed it. You can say that the weekend began in the middle of the week, when A started playing house league. It was her first practice, she’s joining in late, and like the numbskull that I am, I got the times mixed up. I figured they practiced the same time as the travel team, just a different night, but they don’t. We were so late, it almost wasn’t worth getting on the ice, but we did it anyway. A was a little mad at me, and I don’t blame her, but dad can’t get everything right, especially when there is so much going on.

Anyway, she did a quick practice, and that broke the ice. The next day, N had practice for his team, and then the next day, we did homeschool hockey. After that, we met with mom for dinner in the big city, then to the Dartmouth women’s hockey game. They are so good, it’s amazing. On Saturday, A had her house practice, for which we made it on time, then N had a game that afternoon all the way up in Burlington. That game, however, was cancelled, and we instead went to the next women’s hockey game. It was a blast, and we won a free plane ticket on Cape Air. How cool is that?

On Sunday morning, N had a game, and that afternoon A had a game. That’s a whole lotta hockey over a few days, and now that the week is starting again, we have even more hockey to look forward to. Life sure is crazy, in a good way, of course. R mentioned that it’s all redolent of doing the farmer’s market, with all the time and our weekends being consumed. The only difference is that we’re having fun and I for one can’t get enough... sort of.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to RIC for the pic.
