BIG Week-end

We had such a great week-end. We left Thursday afternoon for Minneapolis to see the WCHA Final Five Tournament. There were games and they were all fun to see. Of course, some of them were much more exciting than the others. Evan became a Gophers fan. Ken and I were for any team that could beat them. The first night, Evan got a puck from one of the team managers. The next day he got a puck, a roll of tape and then Wheeler, #17 on the Gophers, scored three goals. That is called a hat trick and the fans throw their hats on the ice. One landed on my head and Evan got to keep that, it was a Gopher hat, of course. The final game for the Championship was won by Wheeler scoring the winning goal in over time. He was tripped and going across the ice on his belly, swung the stick with one hand and scored the winning goal. After the game Evan was giving them knuckles and a coach gave him a Final Five Championship hat. He also got a stick. Not just any stick, the game winning stick of Blake Wheeler. It was awesome and he was so excited. Wheeler is 6'5". The stick is 6'. What a haul he made. He had a very awesome sign that his Uncle Jeff made and he was on the jumbotron if front of 20,000 people! We don't know if he made FSN or not. It was so much fun and Evan just loved it!!

The twins spent their days with Grandma Rosemary and Grandpa Mark. They were brave and took them out to eat. We walked in the skywalks downtown and had a good time. On Sunday we spent the afternoon with Grandma Dolly and Grandpa Gordy. They went to the park, while I took a nap. They had a good time and all the kids napped ont he way home.

That is all for now. Take care and have a great week.
