The Games .....

.... have begun!  What is Little Smiley looking at?

Last Sunday we went to the big city.  When we arrived we met up with Mommy & Daddy and the little boys.  You might notice that Little Smiley has a goalie helmet (Clue #1).  What do you think he sees?  Another photo.....

.... (Clue #2) shows a goaltender on the rink below us.  Why is Little Smiley so intrigued with this goaltender???  Well....

.... maybe because he was an excellent goaltender and Little Smiley has recently become totally captivated by the game of hockey.  Take that and add to it the fact that the goaltender in the picture.....

.... is Daddy!  We went to see this game since it was play-off time, and we wanted Daddy to have a cheering section.  It was such fun!  Daddy's team actually won the game, but due to it being play-offs, there was a shoot-out at the end and unfortunately Daddy just couldn't stop that puck from sneaking into the net.  What about Munchie???  Well..

... he sat with Poppa and watched for a while, but there was a play area downstairs in the building and he decided he would rather go and play. It was a supervised play area, so he could stay down there while Poppa held on to a pager, that the staff would use if they needed him to come down.  Little Smiley....

...... went down with Poppa to have a look, but decided he would rather watch Daddy.

..... so they were soon back, and there he stayed until it was time to head downstairs to wait for Daddy....

.... where he charmed all the other players with his helmet and his smile!  We had such a good time and we were so proud of Daddy for the excellent job he did!  Now he is resting a sprained ankle that he got in a previous game  - he can finally give it a rest and let it heal!  Congratulations on a fine game Daddy!
