Another Adventure Begins
It took about 6 shopping trips to assemble all the gear. Elbow pads, knee pads, shoulder pads, face mask, neck protector, special shorts, protective "cup", new skates, hockey sticks. Two of everything. And 2 giant bags to carry it all in. It took 25 minutes to get it all packed into the bags, and get the kids in the car. 7 minutes to drive to the rink, another 25 minutes to get both kids fully dressed and on the ice. Finally, for the first time, they are playing hockey. There are even a couple of kids they know out there with them. And as I am about to dig the camera out, my husband tells me that there is a sign on the door that says "absolutely no recording devices" of any kind allowed. Are you kidding me???!!! Well, you will just have to trust me on this one. They worked hard, and they loved it! I guess there are some memories we still have to keep in our minds, and share with our children one story at a time.

That's crazy! All that effort, and you can't take photos of your kids learning to be NHL pros. So not fair. What footage will they use in the documentary about their lives, you know, when they've hit the big time?
But, a part of me likes that idea, of going old-school and having REAL memories, in our heads, like the olden days.
What's reason for the ban on photography at the rink?
I think if it's just the boys in the picture, without anybody else anywhere to be seen, you gotta be allowed. Let me know if you wanna borrow my quick little fast camera -- you can stick it in your pocket and just whip it out next time when no one is watching!
