Snow ball

This photo says so much about AJ's hockey game on Sunday. Note how hard it is snowing. Note how much snow has accumulated on the ice. And that's in just one hour. All we need, for the photo to be complete, would have been a tennis ball out in front. Because of all the snow, the pucks didn't even move, so the kids chased a tennis ball instead.


From a spectator's standpoint, the weather was actually pretty nice. The temperature hovered in the low 30s and there was no wind, so it wasn't bad standing outside. And the wet snow was great fun to play in, which kept Sydney busy, which allowed me to actually be a spectator.
The sunglasses, by the way, were her idea. When he saw her, Jeff said, "Come here, Sydney. I want a birthday picture with the starlet."

AJ was determined to win this game as a birthday present for his Dad.

I told him that was a good idea, but warned him it was probably the result of a different game that would make or break how this birthday turned out. And sadly, we're all painfully aware of what happened in that game.
