We had a fun week and weekend without any hockey games or practices.  The temps were actually relatively warm here and it felt like spring must be coming pretty soon even if its supposed to snow this week.  

Luke and Liam had their fourth grade recorder concert.  They began learning to play the recorder at the beginning of the school year and earned all of their "recorder belts" by learning to play various songs.  The songs became gradually more difficult to play as they moved up to higher belts (similar to belts in karate).  They were selected to play the tenor recorder for their concert because they had achieved all of their ten belts.  Their music teacher did an amazing job with the concert and put a lot of time and effort into teaching many of the fourth graders their first instrument.  

Aiden had a fun trip to see the MN Timberwolves play the Rockets with John.  He received a free ticket for reading a certain number of minutes.  He has been interested in going to a professional basketball game for awhile now, so this was really a fun event for Aiden to do with John.  At the end of the game, they were able to go down on the court and shoot a free-throw.  Unfortunately, both Aiden and Dad missed their shots, but what a fun night!
