Hockey Hooligans Part 2!

So the boys have been out skating every weekend since Christmas almost, and are really loving it.  Daddy is often trying to entice them off the ice with offers of hot chocolate or cookies, as they don't ever want to leave the cold outdoor ice before he has frozen toes.  They would likely play outside until frostbite took a few toes off, which is why we make sure they have great winter gear.  Sunday's big trip (to get the boys out of the house and give Mamma and Oscar some peace) included a trip to Canadian Tire to get hockey pucks, as they wanted to play some hockey, and realised that they only had played with balls instead of pucks in the past.  We got them set up with sticks, and (soft rubber) pucks, and after school today it was right over to the neighbours ice pad  for a little on ice work.  They actually did a great job moving and holding the sticks, and balance was not as much of a problem as I figured.  When you are so close to the ground it also doesn't phase you as much when you fall a lot.  Otis liked being the goalie...but then they both referred to goals as goalies...so I don't really know what they thought of it all.  I do know that they loved it.  If it didn't take so long to get in and out of the gear for trips to the washroom, we would have been out until way after dark!
