Blueland is the nickname for where the Georgia Thrasher's Hockey team plays at Philip's Arena. Michael's boss had something come up and couldn't use the tickets and he offered them to Michael. We took Aaron and Rachel to the game with us, while Noah and Eve got some Granny Sue time (this is a highly valued thing in our house!). Aaron and Rachel were thrilled to ride on MARTA to get down to the arena. The kids were initially subdued while they took in the sights of the arena. We had awesome seats that were not to far from one of the goals.
The game was played well by both sides. The Ottawa Senators stayed on the offense most of the night and got ahead by 2 at one point, but the Thrasher's came back to win the game. The score should have been 6 to 4, but the official didn't see things the same way. The crowd got to watch the instant replay which showed the goal to be a good one, but the officials don't use the replay to make decisions. If they did the game would probably take forever. Anyway, by the end of the evening the children were hootin and hollerin' for the home team and had thoroughly read the game flyer to learn about the players. Rachel was even complimented by a passing fan on her victory dance skills!
I'll post a layout later. We had such fun!!!!
