First, a HUGE Thank you to Daddy's friend Steve for sharing his hockey tickets with our family. It was great to see Steve, his wife Susie, and their two girls - Shelby and Kelsy.
The Thrailkill family's first sporting event.........Gwinnett Gladiator Hockey! The Gwinnett Gladiators played a special matinee hockey game on Martin Luther King Day. The announcers were even kind enough to remind the enthusiastic audience to watch their language as many kids were present.
Before the game we watched as the Zamboni prepared the ice for the game. Even more exciting was the blimp that circled overhead - complete with a camera. We could see the people on the HUGE Tvs!
We were only minutes in the game when we learned about the ever important time out box - Xander was fascinated (perhaps something he could relate to?). Two players threw off their gear and began to beat each other - while Daddy cheered on. After a little prompting Daddy remembered that we don't encourage fighting and the two players were carted off to time out - for a long time!
Normally a game that is tied in the last minute, goes into overtime, tied again, and ends in a close shoot out would be exciting - Unless at that point in the game your 5 year old is bouncing up and down on the foldable seat and your 3 year old is crawling on the floor.
All in all - A few nachos, a big pretzel or two, a $4 coke - some crayons and a soda holder - we made it through the whole game.
