The Cutting Edge and Hockey!

Randy got me a pair of ice skates for Christmas and he can't wait until AJ is big enough to get him a pair. As a family we have been spending some time at the ice rink. Baranof Park houses a full size hockey rink - for free, that's right I said it is free.

Randy has been spending 3 nights a week playing hockey. Wednesday and Saturday nights are pick-up hockey and Friday night is the only organized night. So that is the night that AJ and I go and watch him play. We got to see Randy play goalie for the first time this Friday. I think he wants to be more like Grandpa Martin---Grandpa is about 86 years old and still plays goalie---Randy did pretty good...and loved every minute of it. Now all he thinks about is buying his own goalie gear. In the head to head he was able to deflect a few pucks. This was my favorite shot. He was able to smack the puck away from the net.

Last night we went to skate for the the public skate an had some fun. The temperature was only in the forty's so it was pleasant. There was only 3 other people on the ice so that made it even more fun. We had to take turns skating because AJ can't be on the ice until he can stand on his own power...but that didn't matter. He would get so excited watching us skate past him. He's a tigger but when he would see one of us come past he kicked it up to hyper-drive.
