I spent the weekend with Kyllan in Dallas. We are always looking for something new to do, so Kyllan got tickets to a Dallas Stars‘ game on Saturday. The plan was to stay for a while and then head to the State Fair of Texas, but something strange happened when we got to the arena… we enjoyed our selves. Apparently Kyllan and I are hockey fans. Who knew? The Stars lost, to the Colorado Avalanche coincidentally, but it was a really good game. We had to look up some of the rules in the program guide, but it didn’t take us too long to figure out what was going on. This was Kyllan’s first hockey game, I attended a game as part of my recruitment trip to Cornell, and the first time either of us had been to the American Airlines Center. We did eventually make it to the fair, but we didn’t stay too long. Kyllan also took advantage of my time in Dallas to show off her Wii fit skills.
Welcome to hockey! Isn’t it great! Now wait until you see the 3 and 4 year olds playing between periods — they are the best! The kids here can start hockey when they are 3…..Sarah will probably start this winter.
I am glad that you guys enjoyed yourselves. Not sure if there is any minor league in Dallas, but those can be even more fun!
Actually, they had what looked like 6 year olds taking penalty shots between periods. It was hilarious!
Awesome!!!! Everyone loves a 50lb kid wearing 100lbs of equipment!
