We picked up all their gear tonight for the start of hockey next week. Cole and Cade are excited to learn to play hockey. This program is awesome. Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins and other sponsors pay for all the equipment and we just had to pay a fee for them to play. All brand-new equipment! The kids in the program are ages 4-7. And you had to sign up online and it sold out quickly.
I've been taking them skating for the past couple of weeks since they found out they made it in. They had never skated before, but now they can skate all by themselves. It took about three sessions at 2 hours each, but they never gave up. I am not a great skater by any means, but we did it together!
I will post photos when we open the boxes tomorrow. It was too late tonight since we had to wait for Mark to get home since my car is on the fritz. Good thing, too, since it had really started snowing and the local roads were bad. After getting the huge boxes, we ate supper at Buffalo Wild Wings and then headed home. By the time we got home it was 9:15, and they went to bed.
So thanks, Sidney, for this awesome opportunity.
