I love hockey!

I won tickets last week at work to go see the Houston Aeros this last Sunday. It was family night for Memorial Hermann employees. First of all, the game was awesome! The Aeros beat the Admirals 6-1. This is only the second hockey game I've ever been to and the first time was with our church and I was chatting more than watching. Hockey is the greatest game ever. It is fast and exciting. Plus these guys get to beat the crap out of each other. Towards the end of the game two guys threw off their gloves and masks and just went at each other. I thought it was just for show (like wrestling) because the refs and other players were just standing there. Nobody was trying to break it up. So they procede to fight for about 3 minutes then they strolled over to the penalty box and sat for five minutes. Danny later explained that it was not fake and the refs just let them get it out of their system. That was when I was hooked!

Then after the game we (Memorial Hermann employees) were brought down to the ice to skate. That was a blast. We left Laura at home for this so Daley, Danny, and I spent an hour skating. Well, I spent five minutes on skates then changed back into my shoes and got on the ice to get some pictures. I can't skate at all and the skates kill my feet. The people working the event were so sweet and fun. Daley of course had to potty while we were skating so a lady escorted us to the visitors' locker room. That was exciting and a little stinky. The other team had already been in there and left and it hadn't been cleaned yet...use your imagination. Overall it was a fantastic evening! Daley took some pictures, a pom-pom, and rally towel to school on Tuesday for show and tell. She really loved the evening as well.
