Everything is funnier at midnight...or wait, is it?

No. Everything is not funny. Some things are, but not everything.

We went to a hockey game friday night. And it lasted for 4 1/2 hours. I am not joking. Completely serious.
Story:
This game was in Port Huron, which is right across the river from Canada. So we drive a long ways to get there, and honestly I think everyone had their ear buds in and were sleeping or trying to. Yours truly had Joshua Bell playing and was crocheting a baby blanket. (which is almost done!!)
Dad had been telling us that we were going to see "Bears and Falcons." My cousin is on the team "Mighty Falcons" so most of us thought that we were seeing the Falcons play the Bears. But surprise! Dad drive into a movie theater and we watched the new DisnepNature movie called "Bears." It was really well done and a movie that the whole family enjoyed! The filming on that movie is incredible!! So beautiful!
Then we went to our hotel-la (Thats what my sis called hotels when she was 3) and swam in the pool for a bit.
The hockey game started at 7pm, and we ate hot dogs, huge cookies, and candy that our aunts and uncles showered us with. All of which was very good, and obviously healthy. And of course, watched the game. I brought my camera and was able to try getting shots of hockey players. Which is a lot harder than it sounds. But I'll post some pictures later. The hockey game was very fast paced and exciting. (at first!)  Each team got a fair amount of opportunities to make goals, but the goalies were really good and did not let one puck slip by. After the game was "over" it went into the first overtime. 35 minutes later, started the second overtime. 35 minutes later, started the third overtime. (They would play for 20 minutes, then have a 15 minute break while the ice was "re-done."
Oh, it was soo loud. The person who chooses music for these games must be like a 19 year old guy. You had to yell to make the person next to you hear. But it was fun, as most of our aunts, uncles and cousins were there with us.
I wish they would have done a shoot out, but they can't do that in this division of hockey.
Finally, the other team made a goal, and the game was over.
We then went to Denny's! At midnight. It was fun, but I was so tired! :) Daniel told me a joke, and I just stared at him.
So, everything isn't funnier at midnight.
We made it back to the hotel around 1am, and the girls room had HGTV on, of course!
And I found that eating dinner just before you go to bed makes you have weird dreams.
Saturday morning we emptied the hotel's supply of blueberry muffins (sort of joking!) and headed back home!
Ben (9yo) and I got the job of cleaning the house up because everyone else had to go work at the church building. So we blared Piano Guys over the computer and were dancing to the Let It Go/Vivaldi song. Well, I was dancing, but apparently Ben doesn't agree that boys should always dance with their sisters.   ;)


Happy Easter everyone! I have a post "pending" for that too, but it might happen tomorrow. Or sometime in November.
