What an incredibly busy but fun day. My oldest daughter had an out of town hockey tournament yesterday so I was up at the crack of dawn and even got to watch the sun rise. It was incredible. I took some pics and have one here to share.
As for hockey we had an ok day. Lost our first game to a team that has been undefeated all season. It was a fast/good game and we only lost by 1 point. The second game we won despite the antics of the other team. Parents in the stand could be heard clearly instructing their children to "hit to hurt" our kids and especially go after the girls on the team. They were tripping, slashing, elbowing, hitting from behind it was awful. At one point even one of the moms from the other team yelled after a goal F**K off....while my 6 yr old was sitting almost at her feet. At the risk of sounding as low class as her I promptly removed my child and expressed my "displeasure" at her language while a young child was present. By this time my daughter was in tears and telling me she wanted to leave. I think the woman felt bad - rightfully so!!
Our third game was a heartbreaker and we ended up losing in over-time. What a game though!!! With a 3-3 tie at the end of the third the tournament rules for OT were 1 min each of 4 on 4, 3 on 3, 2 on 2 and then 1 on 1. We played it right to 1 on 1 and ended up coming up short.
I am exhausted today and trying to get caught up on household stuff but I think I will pop in and chat for a bit before I do. Hope you all had a great weekend.
