This past weekend was so much fun! The boys and I left of Friday afternoon and headed to Billings. When we pulled into town, Ethan said, "It feels good to be back in Billings." I had to agree. It did feel good. Helena is definitely our new home, but Billings will always be special to us.
We stayed at Erica's house (thanks again so much), and the boys went to bed soon after we got there.
Jason had to work Friday night, but made it down on Saturday to watch Ethan's first game against his former Billings teammates. It was such a fun game to watch, and so nice to see our Billings family. It felt so strange to be back in that rink with our new team, but still with the same old people too.
Ethan played so well. It's been awesome to watch him improve this season.
Ethan and Tyler were on each other the whole game. We are going to miss competing against him next season.
And Denim too. He was a great mentor to Ethan, and so much fun to watch play.
Ethan has gotten much more aggressive, and had several shots on goal. This one went in so smooth. I love watching him play hockey. He had 5 goals for the tournament. That is a record for him.
Ethan played 3 games on Saturday, and Elliott did amazing (considering he didn't have a nap) so we treated them to ice cream.
Sunday morning, bright and early, Ethan had his 4th game in 2 days. They played the other Helena team. Another awesome game to watch.
The kids were all playing "All Out" for a chance at winning the championship and being that they all play together all the time, they held nothing back. It was some amazing hockey.
They did win that game and moved onto the championship game. They lost and took 2nd in the tournament. I couldn't be more proud.
Our weekend didn't end so well, our suburban died, and we crammed into the car for the ride home. While it wasn't ideal, I love my family, and I didn't mind the drive home at all.
Awesome! What a proud mommy moment ;)
