Winter Classic

The Mites had their annual Winter Classic, except this year it started up in the hills at Palmer Gulch on Friday night.  They had cabins available so that you didn't have to drive back and forth, so we jumped at the opportunity!  We rented a cabin together with the Bartling's and Merchen's.  All of the boys get along really well and we knew they would have a blast!  It was cold...to put it nicely...but it definitely didn't damper the spirit!  The boys didn't even notice...they were too busy skating all over the frozen pond having a blast!  They had made a campfire, which I stood by and kept a watch over. :)

 The next morning they started early with games out on the pond, before heading back to the Thunderdome to finish off the day.

 They each had a couple more games at the Thunderdome, and then finished off the night with a pizza party, more skating, and a bouncy castle.

It was another great weekend of hockey!  We were all exhausted by Saturday night when we left the Thunderdome at 9pm.
