Iowa Chops

Last Saturday we went out for a family fun night to the Iowa Chops Hockey game. It was a lot of fun because the game was sponsored by Blanks Children's Hospital so there were lots of other kids there.

Brayden was pretty excited when we got there because there was so much to look at and see. We made sure to pack a jacket and a hat since usually the arena is cold but it wasn't too bad. We were a few minutes late getting there and by the time we got to our seats we had already scored. It was a pretty intense game. The score was still 1-0 at the beginning of the 3rd period. Finally in the 3rd the Chop scored again and Brayden was in for a big surprise. When they scored the lights went out, flames shot out from the big scoreboard, and everyone yelled and cheered. Brayden joined the celebration by crying :( We didn't know that was about to happen and it caught us and Brayden by surprise. We usually try to go to a game and help support the local teams so it was fun for us to be able to take Brayden along!

All dressed and ready to go to the game!

Here is some of the exciting game.

And the celebrating contines. This is where Brayden decided he wasn't quite sure he liked the idea of this hockey game.
