A little belated on this story due to all the Halloween festivities of the last week...
Last Saturday we surprised the kids with tickets to a Bulldog Hockey game. Needless to say, they were a bit excited. (And by 'they', I mean the kids. The Bulldogs probably didn't know we were there. Or who we are.)
The Bulldogs took an early lead: 2-0. But for Sydney, the thrill of that paled in comparison to the discovery that a special guy (NOT a boyfriend!) happened to be at the same game.
You've got to love social media. Checking facebook toward the end of the first period, I saw my friend Annette (Patrick's mom) had posted a photo of her family at the game. I quickly commented, asking where they were sitting. Just a couple sections over. So during intermission we stopped to say hi. How sweet that they share a love for the Bulldogs and cheesy souvenirs from the gift shop.
But look out Patrick, you seem to have some furry competition. During the second admission, Sydney found someone else to cuddle up to. Her squeal of delight when she spotted Champ was enough to turn many heads. And of course everyone smiled when she threw her arms around his waist.
The game ended in a 2-2 tie. AJ, of course, was disappointed that the Bulldogs let their lead slip away. But Sydney thought it was a perfect game.
