pond hockey

Thomas is playing pond hockey again this year.  He's now old enough to play with the big boys (11-15 year olds).

He practices twice a week for 2 hours at each practice.  He comes home sweaty every time.  Even if it's below zero.  And he's hungry enough to eat a second dinner.

This morning was their first game.  The temperature driving into town was 3 below zero.  Did I mention that their games are outside?  And that they last an hour? 

It was stinkin cold.

Ava went skating while Thomas played.  She could kinda see where she was going. 

They didn't win today but he had a great time.

Awesome pictures! Grandpa says indoor hockey is for whimps!!! It was nice to enjoy the pictures by the warmth of the wood stove! I think we might have a slight case of whimpitis! It's supposed to get really cold here this week too! It's snowing today. Enjoyed the thank you notes from you all and you are so very welcome!
