An afternoon with the Falcons!

We spent the afternoon at the Springfield Falcon's game today. The parents of one of Tyler's friend's from school were very generous and provided us with tickets to a few games this season and this was the last set we were able to all use together. We had a great time (as usual). Tyler loves attending the games, but we spend the entire ride assuring him that Screech, the Falcon's mascot, knows not to come and bother him!
Taking in warm-ups, nose against the glass. Tyler watches every move, every stretch, and every drill the teams do!

Before the game we walked around the arena. Due to the really yucky weather outside, there were not many people there. We came upon a children's area that was set up with coloring pictures (Tyler chose a goalie), nets, and other equipment. Tyler took the time and modeled hiss best goalie stance.
However, I told him that playing goal was going to be very expensive, so he better practice his shot. The older kids who were playing a game gave him a stick, fed him the puck, and Tyler found heaven! I wanted to warn the boy standing in goal, but he was a quick learner after Ty's first shot!
My favorite hockey boys!
My baby (no matter how big!).
