Hockey in July

Today, the Preds were having an open to the public practice for their prospect development camp.  Both of the kids really enjoy going to games with us, so this was a great way to fill part of the day.  There was only a hundred or so people there, which is perfect for 2 energetic kids!!

Brooks was able to get right behind the action and watch them shoot the puck.

They had the most important hockey food to Brynn!  I'm pretty sure she wouldn't want to go if they didn't have nachos!

Brooks really ate up being able to get up and stand.  He spent most of the practice watching.  The highlight was when the zamboni would come out.  They had to wave at the driver with each pass.

A player gave them some pucks.  They held on to them the entire time, except for when Brooks tried to throw his back on the ice.  Lucky for him the puck hit  the glass.  They left with 2 each and showed them to everyone they saw.

We had a great time today.  They really enjoy going into the city and experiencing things.  They asked a lot of questions and seemed to try and understand what was going on.  It is really fun to take them places. Even when you get stuck in gridlock traffic due to the Vice President visiting!
