Our boys were given tickets to the Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings game tonight. Earlier in the week when the tickets arrived, I asked them to pose for a nice photo so I could send a thank you note with their smiling, grateful faces.
They (read: Cole, hmm) were not terribly cooperative.
We started with this:
Which lead to this:
And then to this:
And finally this:
As grateful as I am to have received these tickets, I have to admit it's crazy trying to find a time and date for an event that "works" in the logistics of our life, so we settle for what kinda-might-maybe-be-managed. Today, Louis will take Caden and a buddy into Toronto in plenty of time for the puck drop at 7PM - with maybe a stop at the Hockey Hall of Fame and dinner before the game. In the meantime, I will take Cole to his own hockey game in Guelph. GUELPH! From there he will shower and change at the rink and then I'll drive him to downtown Toronto and drop him off at the entrance to the ACC and (fingers crossed) hope he makes it to his seat. I hope I remember to pack some food for him - or just give in and let him have a rink dog, or ten.
(For those of you who don't know, Guelph is located about an hour west of us in Oakville. From there, Toronto is located about 75 minutes east of Guelph. Oakville is then located 45 minutes west of Toronto. I'll be making a 3 hour circle.)
As for the pro game, no, I will not attend. One hockey game a day is plenty for me! I'm thinking I'll head home and put a fire on, pour a glass of wine and open one of books in my growing pile of "must reads".
Louis will then bring the boys home on the GO train to further the adventure of their day.
Oh, before I forget, my favourite "out take" of the day:
I love shots: at the front of my house and on wet stone steps. Perfect :) Love the difference in leg length! It won't be long and Caden will catch up!
