Snow and Liam's WILD game

The rink has had a good year with lots of cold weather!

Sunny and cold day that was perfect for skating!

We have had lots of snow

The snow is piling up so much that it is at the top of the mailboxes now.

Clearing snow on the rink.  There is usually a 5 foot drop off the back wall of the rink, but right now you can walk off since the snow is piled so high

Luke's Squirt A team finished First in their district!  Nice job Luke and team!!

Liam finally made it to a WILD game this year

In January, we had tickets to a WILD game as a Christmas present for the  boys.  Liam was not able to go because he was very sick.  We found a ticket at the last minute this past Sunday evening so Liam was able to go with John to see the Wild vs. St. Louis Blues.

He got a puck!

And got to sit with Nordy, the mascot

As a Christmas gift this year, the boys received tickets to a Minnesota WILD hockey game.  Unfortunately, Liam was very sick on the night of the game so he and I stayed home.  We have been trying to find a good time to take Liam to a game and when we found some tickets last minute for a game on Sunday, he went with John to see the WILD vs. St. Louis Blues.  Liam had a blast and talked the entire time!  He had nachos (and didn't have to share), skittles, and even his favorite drink (Diet Coke).  He loved every minute of it.

We are still getting lots of snow in MinneSNOWta.  This has been the fourth snowiest month in Twin Cities history and the snowiest February ever.  We have had a total of 40 inches in February alone.  We are definitely running out of places to put this much snow.  I think we are all looking forward to some warmer temperatures very soon even though the rink has been in great shape this year.

We finished our final district games over the weekend.  The boys and their teams did very well.  Luke's team finished first place in our district and Liam's team finished fourth with only one point difference between the third and fourth place teams.  We are moving onto the district tournaments this weekend.
