Ice Ice Baby

Lots of ice time this weekend. Griffin had his hockey jamboree tournament and Abby had her ice show. Both of them did great and had a blast.  Below are some pictures from both. I wasn't on my best with the picture taking, so they are not great.....we also have video of both of them and are working on transferring to CD to mail to Grandmas and Grandpas.....be patient, it's coming!  I'll post a bit of it too, when it's ready.

Griff's White Lightening Team being introduced at the tourney. He is in the front with the white helmet.

The White Lightening Team

Griff was looking at the pictures I took and he was really irritated that I didn't get one picture of him with the puck.  He wants to make sure you know he did hit the puck and score a couple of goals during his games :-)

His trophy and new hat.  They had tons of vendors at the hockey tourney, one of which makes custom spray painted hats.  You can't go anywhere around here without seeing boys and girls with these (tacky) hats on.  We told Griff we'd get him one, fully expecting to get one with a  hockey theme....he'd have none of it, he wanted the one with the dirt bike...... and that is a shark painted on his face. They had face painting there, too :-)

Onto Abby and the ice show.......

In the locker room, waiting for her group to go out.....

 So ready to go!

Behind the curtain, minutes before going out onto the ice. She has the purplish ribbon and is bending her knee.....

  She's right here....in the middle of the two silver poles

 Almost in the spotlight..

Lunging with purple ribbon

 Caught mid-spin...unfortunately not facing us :-(

This was her second routine with the skating club.  She is right in the middle.
