Night of Hockey...

Joe was one of the lucky winners at his work to win some free tickets to a local hockey game. We all went to cheer on the local Reading Royals on Sunday night.

Here we have the typical teen face....
Don't they look thrilled?... Mikayla asked if we were cheering for the Reading Phillies {for those of you that are not local...that is our baseball team...not hockey...HaHa}!
And the game begins...
when I watch football with Joe I can ask him "What did that call mean?" "What was wrong with that play?".....however, that is not the case in hockey....we are on an even playing field with this sport....we have no idea what the rules are!

WOW...that is scary....
Alexis didn't enjoy all the air horns...she has very sensitive ears {no idea where that came from}
mascot...SLAPSHOT...unfortunately we were not lucky to catch a flying T-shirt, not even close
2nd intermission....now they look a little happier...
she doesn't look too miserable in this shot....
and still our ham like usual
self taken shot....they always look bad....
Another self taken shot with Alexis...
He is crazy....He couldn't stay off Facebook even at the game....seriously I think he needs some FB addiction counseling!
more game shots....
or as Alexis would say...."that's when they were playing golf"....HaHa

since I played field hockey goalie I was really intrigued by how ice hockey goalies have to use their legs to cover the goal....it looks like such an awkward position....
when they were stretching at the end of the intermissions, Alexis asked "did the goalie have to go pee?"...I said "no, why?"....she said "because he was doing this" and she did her best to interpret the squatting position....what a bird she is!
And lucky for her, those air horns didn't keep her awake....she slept right through the last quarter....just like her mother, she can sleep anywhere Unfortunately, the Reading Royals lost...but we really had a good time out!
