| Back home can see a bit more but cloudy skies |
Then another walkabout down a couple of new trails that I have not been on before and the new bridges as well.

After lunch a couple of stops and went with them to check into the hotel, The Hotel was overwhelmed with all the hockey teams checking in plus a wedding party all at the same time. Some of the rooms were not ready and long lineups for check in even with 4 persons on the desk it was a zoo !
Eventually the got their room in time to drop off their bags and back to the arena for next game at 5:15 pm. We rode with them for the day and did have some nice family time.
Back at the arena Suzie and I had supper. We each a coffee and shared a small popcorn. That was all we needed. Before this round of games.

| tonights supper |
Here we are back for another fast paced game. It was exciting, fast and disappointing all at the same time. The were defeated again Cambridge his time another every good team.
 |
| number 17 is our guy |
 |
| game is over and they all had a great time |
We were on the edge of our seats the whole time always exciting. And the nice thing is even though they were defeated they all came out of the change room in good spirits. They tried their best and thats all they can do. Then they headed to the hotel to hang our with the team.
After this game we headed back to 50 Point and our home, Back here by 7 pm and still very warm , loving this warm weather that has returned . Relax inside and finish this posting. After a fun day with family.
Thanks for stopping on by and hope y;all had a great day as well. We back to watch more hockey tomorrow morning and cheer our grandson on.
