Where are we today ?
Yep we did, went to Paris (Ontario) this morning. Grandson number 4 had a Hockey Game, then we went for lunch with the family.

| You can tell spring is in the air, even though it was -20c (-4f) a couple die hards anxious to get out on their bicycles. |
It was a great game and he scored another goal they defeated Paris Wolfpak 3 to 2. This is the Paris Arena very nice 2 ice pads. These new arenas are nice but full netting mesh to protect the spectators from flying hockey pucks, but not great for pictures.

| the final score 3-2 for Plattsville |

| sledge hockey |
After the winning game we had 3 hours until the next one so we headed off to the New Paris Country Grill for a very tasty brunch. Very good home made food at reasonable prices, I had an excellent Rueben and fries, Suzie a western omelette, Daughter #2 a salad, and SIL a monstrous very filling breakfast skillet. The boys each had soup and some fries.

| love a great local restaurant, much more than a chain |
After a nice family brunch we still had time so wandered over to Brantford and stopped at Staples for some ink cartridges for our new printer. Checked out a few things then we moseyed along down the country roads to St. George for a 3:20pm game.
Grandson #1was playing against the St. George Generals, a smaller older arena but at least this one was heated, seems the new arenas there is no heating for the spectators.

| Grandson #1 is # 9 |
 |
| They defeated St. George, 7-2 great game and he got an assist |
Now after our huge brunch a very light supper, we split a small bowl of popcorn and an apple.
That was a fun day with family and and nice sunny weather with dry roads.
Thanks for taking a peek again hope ya'll had a great Saturday too.
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this past Winter.
I have never heard of "sledge hockey" either. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYes think it is a great idea, has actually been around for quite a few years.
DeleteI'm thinking what a diverse group of bloggers I read... spring training for baseball in AZ to disc golf in FL to ice hockey in Ontario. Y'all sure make my life interesting!
ReplyDeleteSo much going on everywhere is always fun to see how other people live too.
DeleteWhat a great idea --- sledge hockey! It's great that everyone gets to play. I bet those grands just love you being there.
ReplyDeleteYes we are having a great time here with everyone.
DeleteThose bicyclists are crazy! -20 and biking, yikes!! Well at least being back in Canada for most of the winter, you are able to watch your grandson's play their hockey games and be there to cheer them on.

Yep much too cold to be on a bicycle for me at least.
DeleteThe grandson's hockey games are a huge bonus, that we have been missing for years.
Not a bad day. Can you get studded tires for your bicycles? Something to consider?
ReplyDeleteYes I have seen bicycles with studded tires, but really not for me at all anymore.
DeleteYou are sure taking advantage of your Canada time with the grands. That skillet meal looks like my kind of breakfast.
ReplyDeleteLarry that was a HUGE breakfast way too much for me, but it looked awesome.
DeleteMmm, I can taste that Ruben sarney!
ReplyDeleteThe Rueben was so tasty, love them as a special treat.
DeleteI'm sure the grandsons appreciate your following their hockey games. Better than pro hockey, eh? ;c)
ReplyDeleteYes they do and pro hockey is something we gave up watching many years ago.
DeleteThere is a movie with the title PARIS/TEXAS. Ever seen that?
ReplyDeleteNo have never seen it don't watch much tv or movies for that matter. Will keep and eye out for it though thanks.
