HOCKEY

Around Christmas time Arden asked to go to a Bruins game.  Given we have not yet won the lottery -- and had no idea if she'd actually like and pay attention to a game ... well, nope.  

After some contemplation I decided to take her to a UNH Lady Wildcats game.  I surprised her with that and we had the best time.  Dora opted not to join, because ... well...sports.

We made it to Durham easily (PS: I want to move there) and had our pick of seats because no one goes to women's athletics (still!!!!).  I thought things might have changed since I was one of three people back in the day at the UNLV Lady Rebels games.  

She was fiercely intent on the entire game.  There was no fidgeting or boredom.  

On her feet every time they scored.  

She may have had some spun sugar.

As we drove out of the hockey arena we stumbled on this (not our photo!) -- the UNH Horse Stables.  She has now proclaimed with vehemence that she will go to UNH because they have a huge horse facility, hockey and soccer.  The TRIFECTA.

We had the best night -- she wants to go to every game from here on out.   And play hockey. 

PS:  Hockey is barbaric, chaotic, fast and insanely awesome.  Who knew!??!
