Winter Classic

The Rushmore Thunder Mites held their 2nd annual Winter Classic this year!  They were able to play one of the games outside at Downtown Square.  It was freezing that morning, so Dad and Tyson went in to his game while Aiden and I got ready and came in a little later just in time for his game.

Taking a little breather

 After the games out at the square we headed right over to the Thunderdome for the rest of the games.  Between the 2 boys they were playing pretty much the entire day!

 That evening after all of the games were done, they had a pizza party for the kids/families that were going to be staying overnight at the Thunderdome.  The boys decided they wanted to do the slumber party, so Dad was brave and stayed the night with them:)

They had a few games set up for the kids to do, as well as a jumpy castle!  The boys had a blast getting to play and hang out with all of their friends!

I left at around 9pm and everyone was still going strong!  I guess they didn't go to bed until  close to midnight and were up at 7am.  They ate a quick breakfast before coming home...and they. were. exhausted.  Tyson spent the rest of the day sleeping...literally!  If he was up...he was complaining about how terrible he felt!  I'm thinking he's a bit like  his mother when it comes to not tolerating very little sleep:)  Thank goodness they had a day to recover!
