A Daddy Daughter Date

We had the opportunity to go to a hockey game as a family at Rexall Place. It was the EPS versus the NHL Hockey Legends. R got tickets from school. She was so excited to go to the place where the Oilers play hockey! We only went to the first period though, because by the time they started (late) and did their light show and introductions, the start time of 7 pm was more like 7:45pm! Anyway, two of the girls didn't know any better, but I can't fool R much anymore. She knew!

Well, Paul got tickets to see Oilers vs. Canucks on the 23 March. He didn't know who to take ( I wanted to go with him but it is hard to get a babysitter during the week since I feel that they shouldn't be working except on the weekends) so he took her. She was so excited!

Thanks to new technology, she (well, probably her dad, more likely) texted me and took pictures with Daddy's phone. It made my heart so happy.

Here are some emails I got from "her:"

I am having so much fun.

I think it is adorable. They got treats and everything. A real date!

Another one!

She is so happy!

At the end of the game! She was a good luck charm for the Oilers! They won 3-2!

Walking back to the van. Her legs got tired. Not the best picture of Paul, but look at my girl's smile!

Have a great day! Remember we love you!
