Hurricanes Game

My awesome brother-in-law and sister-in-law gave us tickets to a Carolina Hurricanes game.  They scored the tickets for free and were planning on going to the game, with Chad as a tag along.  At the last minute, they couldn't make it, so they let our family use them instead!  They were great seats, four rows from the ice, behind the goal. 

We were going to get a babysitter for Everett, but I chickened out since he is still so terrible at taking a bottle.  I wasn't sure how he'd do, but we put him in a sweater, beanied his little noggin, and threw him in the Ergo (BEST baby product EVER!).  He totally fell asleep in that thing for the entire first period.  He woke up ready to eat, and when I couldn't find so much as a bench to nurse him on, I commandeered the family restroom.  It was stocked with a padded folding chair. I felt kind of bad, but oh well.  He fell asleep again at the end of the game.  Long live the ERGO!!! 

We had a great time as a family and only had to pay $15 for parking (can we talk about how outrageous that is, though?!).  

Hockey will forever hold a special place in my heart, since so much of Chad and my early dating consisted of watching the BYU Ice Cats play.  Kaden became an instant fan, since there was so much obvious testosterone-induced aggression being displayed on the ice.  He even got a game puck, since he is adorable, and someone gave him one.  

I think there are definitely more Hurricanes games in our future.
