THUNDER!

Last Friday night, we dropped Mason off with grandpa and took Taylor to her FIRST hockey game...to see the Wichita Thunder!

We've been a few times....we just like the change in scenery, having something fun and different to do.

Taylor LOVED it!

We were there for about 5 minutes when she noticed other people with snacks!

What's a hockey game with out nachos and pop!

We are such concession food junkies...this is not going to be a good thing for our kids!

Dave's cousin Terry and his son Brycen have had season tickets on the first row since the very first season of Wichita Thunder. We went down by the glass to see them at half time.

They had some extra tickets, so we went for free! Thanks Terry!

This is the last game that the Thunder will ever play in the Kansas Colesium.

Next year they will be at the new downtown arena in Wichita.

Terry tried to help Taylor get a frisbie from Thunder Dog....he just wouldn't look our way.

The entire way home, Taylor talked about the dog (Thunder Dog) and the gorilla (not really sure what that mascot was for). Over and over again.

"I like that dog

I like that lilla

that dog come to my house?

No Taylor, that dog is going to go night-night

Mommy, you see that dog?

Yes I did

you see that lilla?

yep

that lilla come to my house?

No Taylor, that gorilla is going to stay at the hockey game.

that dog come to my house and get my dog?

No Taylor, it's not going to come to our house
Mommy, did you see that dog and that lilla?

(this continued in a cycle for quite some time)

"Taylor, let's talk something else" (this was daddy, not me)

Then she was asleep.

I think she'll remember these fun chairs most of all. She was more interested in them than the hockey game.

Too cute! We went to a game earlier in the season and it was fun... Except they didn't score, either team, at all! Not sure what the gorilla was all about either?? Thanks for you kind words about grandma.

Ahhh, snacks and fun chairs! :) Looks like she had a blast. We have some free tickets for the circus next month and this makes me curious about the strange things we might hear on the way home from that!

My first thought when I saw the title was that you were going to talk about the stormy weather we had the other night. I have never, yep, never, gone to a hockey game. I would probably enjoy the concessions more than the game quite frankly. Yay nachos!
