Welcome to Hockeytown 2009-2010!!! (October 8, 2009)

For my birthday, we went to the Red Wings home opener against the Chicago Blackhawks. After a quick trip to the Greektown Casino, we went over to the arena.

Warmup

It's almost time. Gotta clean the ice first though.

Here we go!!!

It's not a hockey game without a fight

After the 1st period

Chris Osgood stopping yet another one. What would they do without the Wizard of Oz?

After the 2nd period

And we won!!!

The final score

Star #3-Nicklas Lidstrom

Star #1-Chris Osgood (he really deserved all 3 stars since he saved the game)

The arena cleared out pretty quickly afterwards

A Fall Day in Shaker Heights (October 4, 2009)

On our way home from Chautauqua, we stopped in Shaker Heights to see Graham and Jenn. After Addy woke up from her nap we went over to a Fall Fun Fair.

Addy riding a pony. She wasn't too sure about this and kept saying "Daddy" over and over until she got off.

Addy did like feeding the goats and sheep though.

Playing Ring Toss

Addy and Uncle Jay walking

We stopped to get a ladybug drawn on Addy's face. She wasn't sure about what was going on, but it turned out ok.

I don't know about this

All done. How cute!!! Then she got silly. And a lollipop too.

Being crazy on the way home.

There's always time for a little baseball.
