Ducks Game!

It sure has been the month of sporting events around here. Since we are in the middle of a 4 day weekend we headed to Newport for a night to spend with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma bought some tickets to see the Anaheim Ducks play at the Honda Center and we were all excited to go see another game!

Outside the entrance there were lots of kid friendly activities set up, including jumpies and slides.

They got to practice shooting some pucks too. Zoe was the first to jump in and give it a try (that girl is always up for anything fun!)


It was time to head inside to see the Anaheim Ducks take on the Edmonton Oilers.
We went inside and made our way up to the "nosebleed" section again! Fortunately, Grandma's neighbor gave us 2 season tickets for 2nd row seats, so each kid got to spend one period of the game sitting up close!

The pre-game opened with a warm up on the ice and a beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

The kids were excited to cheer on the Ducks!

Jax started out first in the second row...

Followed by Cooper...

Zoe and I got the last period...

It was fun to see the action up close. It was exciting to see the players slammed up to the glass in front of us too!

Hockey is such a fast paced, fun sport to watch. We really enjoyed the game and the Ducks pulled off a 3-2 win. The goalie even had to be taken out for some stitches to his neck, but returned just 3 minutes later.
Thanks for the fun night Mimi and Gramps! We sure had a great time!
