Blizzard & Sioux Game

Last Friday night we scored box seats to the Sioux hockey game. We were so tired from Jake's party but knew it was an opportunity we couldn't pass by. So we bundled up against the coming storm and headed over to the hockey arena. The game was already underway when we got to the suite and they scored 3 consecutive goals right away. The screaming fans and fireworks startled the kids at first, but we soon settled in and got used to the noise. What a fun night - we will definitely be going to more games next year...anyone want to go in on a suite with us?!

A blizzard had been forecast for that night and it was picking up steam when we arrived at the game. But by the time we left it was full-force - I'd never seen anything like it in all our 8 years here. I was grateful that we didn't live out of town because it was hard enough to see the main roads to our house. This winter has felt long and extra-cold - we hope this is our last storm of the year!
