Hockey.... Our Newest Adventure....

So... I know I mentioned Blaine was playing hockey and Gavin wanted to... Well.... last night was the first night for Gavin to take the ice. I was nervous for him...I was really impressed! Blaine does it easily, as he does most things. It is cool to watch Blaine improve... His skating is getting better, stick handling and last night he was in the goal and holy cow did he stop every puck that came near him! He only had his stick... It was amazing! Maybe a goalie?? Who knows... lol!!

Well Gavin was sweating before practice ever started... He skated over to me and said "mom, this is harder than I thought"... Like momma said Gavin...just like momma said.... :) He did really well staying on his skates though. He feel a few times of course. I thought he did much better than I expected.... He did get really, really winded though and had to come off the ice for a little bit, thought he was gonna throw up, the whole bit! I was thinking about it later and I see why. We consider Gavin the active one, but his activity consists of sitting and driving a race car... Hardly cardiac workout activity... He was pretty determined to fix that when we figured it out... So funny that Gavin, so driven....

I hope they ask Blaine to move up to a team... I hope they ask Gavin as well, but this is Blaine's thing and I really hope he gets an invitation. He seems fairly committed to practice, even in the summer so he says. There is a rink in Greensboro that is open all year, so I am sure I will be putting even MORE miles on the ol expedition... Happily!

Saturday is Gavin's racing banquet.... We will be staying at the Great Wolf Lodge in Charlotte. I can't wait!! We are gonna have sooooo much fun!!!!! I will try to take some pics!
