Ben's Outdoor Hockey Game

Ben had his first outdoor hockey game, and of course it was snowing (go figure, in ND). All of his other games are played on an indoor rink, but this was a fun, unscheduled game they threw into the team calendar. It didn't seem to slow down the action though, as the kids all played hard and had a blast!
Only in North Dakota would we have a "human Zamboni" in the form of the referee, clearing off the ice between periods. We laughed about the weather that day, and stayed in the car to keep ourselves warm and out of the icy wind.
As we stayed warm in the vehicle on the sidelines of the rink, Auntie Kristen snuck a little snooze as she held a sleeping Noah.... she claimed she was just leading by example, showing him how to nap, but she wasn't fooling us... she was out like a light, just as Noah was. TOO CUTE! She deserved a rest, she's been stressed out lately. Nothing more soothing than a sleeping baby to put one's worries to rest, if only for a little bit.
