Tonight I went with the family to my first NHL game while visiting my sister and family in NC. Since my brother in law works for the Carolina Hurricanes their family is BIG Hurricane fans! My Nephew (who is 4) had been talking about us going to the game for days.
We had VIP parking and entrance tickets which allowed us to enter and exit bypassing the masses with primo parking (how cool is that!!!) and our seats were VERY nice. The whole family got to go....Mom, Dad, My Sister her husband and my niece and nephew.
It was Hurricanes vs. Philadelphia Flyers.......the game was 0 to 3 for a LONG time and Carolina was getting crushed then out of nowhere in the 3rd period (mom and dad were just about to leave) they started scoring and things got exiting. It ended up being 3-3...going into overtime....sudden death...ultimately a shoot out...and Flyers won. Talk about tense!
I think my favorite part of the whole evening was watching my niece, who is 2, all dressed in her Canes jersey, lean over the railing yelling "GO CANES GO, GO CANES GO" with everyone else in the arena and then watching her rock to "we will, we will ROCK YOU"....that was just too precious.
It was a fun evening and I'm really appreciative that my brother in law was able to provide such an enjoyable evening for the family to do together as we don't get many opportunities like that.
That's what I like about this list, its not only that I get to do things that I have never done before, but when I get to share them with people that I love---that's what makes them extra special!
