Playing In The Snow And A Hockey Game

Going to Denver in December we thought (and were hoping) for sure that there would be tons of snow. Well, we were wrong. However, there was some snow in our front yard and it was just enough for the kids to play in and build a couple of snowmen. Dillon had so much fun throwing snowballs and attempting to make snow angels. He was so cute doing it - first he would move his little legs and then he would move his little arms - but he could never get them to go at the same time.

We love hockey, so we decided that it would be fun to go to see the Colorado Avalanche play. The tickets that we go were for a "family night" and they included game cards to the ESPN Zone and pizza and sodas at game. Before the game we went to the ESPN Zone to let the kids play and get a snack before we went to the game. Dillon had fun playing the basketball game - even though he could barely get the ball over the railing. Unfortunately while we were there he developed a fever. He had one last night too, but it was gone this morning. We took him to the game anyway (what bad parents we are) and he slept almost the entire time. He started out sleeping on Tiffany, then moved to me, then to Jason and finally he ended up sprawled across Derek and Ryan. He was a trooper. He woke up a few times and cheered and then would fall right back to sleep. It was actually pretty funny. We will have to take him to an Anaheim Ducks game when we get home and he is feeling better.
