A WILD Surprise!

We've been asking, and asking, and ASKING to go to a Minnesota Wild game... pretty much since Mom and Dad went to the first game of the season last fall. 

On Thursday, we finally got our chance!  Daddy put together another fun, WILD, surprise night for us.

First, we went to the Iron Range Grill for dinner. Then, we headed down to the ice -- RIGHT by the ICE!

We got there early... and waited... and waited... and WAITED for the Wild to take the ice.




Once the Wild took the ice for practice, we were glued to the glass - watching every move of every player - and trying not to miss a beat!


After warm-ups, we headed up the stairs to find Bonnie and Hambone.  They were so excited to see us - and we were just as excited to see them.

During one of the intermissions, Brooke found Lucy - and gave her hugs and high 5s!

After every goal, all 3 girls cheered... and Brooke reminded Mommy, "We fist pump like Tony!" 
(Uncle Tony was very pround when he heard this.)


The game was VERY exciting. The Wild took on the Edmonton Oilers, scored 4 goals, and had 72 penalty minutes.  There was a lot of cheering, a lot of dancing, and a lot to see on - and off - the ice!  We cannot wait to go back to the X, and to another hockey game!
