Don't Run on the Ice!

I heard that quite a few times on Saturday.  I told the nice man who works at the Pepsi Center that if he could get my kid to stop running I'd be impressed!  My kids LOVE to run.  Turns out they like to "penguin slide" too.  This past Saturday we had the opportunity to play on the ice at the Pepsi Center before the Avalanche hockey game.  It was so much fun!  They had broom ball sticks and some balls.  They had the nets out (same ones the pros use) on half of the rink.  The other half was open for belly sliding.  Great fun had all around; even by my husband who didn't want to go. 

After the ice time my husband and two middle kids headed home (they got to go to a game a few weeks ago).  My oldest, youngest, and I went to dinner.  It was a frustrating wait (15 minutes turned into 45 minutes).  The food was good though and the company even better.  I love my kids!  They make me smile. 

The hockey game itself was a lot of fun.  My mother in law, two sister in laws, and two brother in laws went with us.  The game was good (lost by one though), but the company was better!  We were surrounded by friends in the stands and even saw my sons teacher.  Can't wait for next years game and ice time!  Such a great tradition.
