Never a Dull Moment....

Aiden had his final game in the spring hockey league he played in during the month of April.  He will take a break and play soccer until hockey starts back up in the fall.

The Bruins final game.

Ice cream to celebrate post game!!  

Temps got up to 75 degrees!!

Despite the fact that Luke appears pretty excited in this picture, it really wasn't that exciting.  He is, however, happy that the doctor said he could still skate in his hockey tournament assuming he is pain free.

Over the weekend, Aiden played in his final hockey game until he starts back up in the fall.  After he finished his regular season hockey, he participated in a small spring league for a few weeks.  I will admit that it was really hard to even consider doing anything hockey related over the weekend because we finally hit 70 degrees on both Saturday and Sunday.  The weather was gorgeous and spending time in a cold ice rink wasn't something that any of us really wanted to do.  Aiden, however, was excited about his tournament and his spring hockey team so we enjoyed watching him play.  Next up for Aiden is soccer beginning in May.

The remainder of our weekend was spent enjoying the warm weather!  We enjoyed dinner and ice cream outside, had a bonfire and smores with friends, had a water gun fight, went on a bike ride, and spent more time outside than inside.  All in all, it was a good time with the exception of a little mishap for Luke.

While rollerblading outside on the driveway, Luke's skate caught an edge between the driveway and sidewalk and he went down really hard on his left hand.  He was wearing a helmet and pads, but unfortunately nothing to protect his fingers.  He ended up with a fracture in the second and third fingers of his left hand.

Luke's one and only question after the accident was whether or not he could still skate in his hockey tournament this weekend.  Thankfully, there was no misalignment and the fracture should heal in a few weeks.  Meanwhile, he is clear to skate in the tournament games over the weekend.  He has a splint to wear for awhile to protect his fingers a bit.  He hasn't complained at all about any pain from his fingers.  Luke is a sweet and easygoing kid that never complains so he really has continued to be active and make the most of the situation (we are the ones reminding him to rest!).
