He Shoots & He Scores!!!

So much to write but the highlight of the weekend was the kids' game on Saturday night. We were ahead by 1 goal and with less than 50 seconds left in the game I noticed that the other team had pulled their goalie. It was 6 on 5 and they were hammering our defense, which is what Cody plays. Paula and I were in the boxes keeping time & score when I said "if Cody get his stick on the puck I know he'll get a goal". No sooner were the words out of my mouth when Cody gets the puck and sends it soaring clear across the ice. It was right on target and slid right between the pipes. AWESOME!!


In other sports action: Friday night was a community wide pep rally for the big football game on Saturday. I was so excited to go! Rylee and I sat with some neighbors and my friend Michelle, who had been playing for the team. Unfortunately, it was pretty lame and NOTHING like what it was back in the day but Rylee enjoyed watching the cheerleaders and this was the first year. Hopefully it grows from year to year. After the pep rally we darted over to the next town to catch the last quarter of the final football game of the season for the Mounties. Michelle younger son plays on that team.

Saturday was the big rivalry game. Hoosac vs Drury. North Adams vs Adams. Red vs Blue. It's such an experience. Alumni, parents, administrators, teachers, students.....it is such a community wide event every year. And this year was especially close because both teams had great seasons and the results of the game would determine who would advance to the playoffs. Rylee had so much fun watching the dualling cheerleaders and Molly and Paige got into the spirit with decorated t-shirts and war paint with glitter. So cute. And even better...we won!

Saturday night was the kids' hockey game and then today Cody went to Holyoke with the coach so I could take Molly to her game with the girls' team. They won 6-0 and Molly played great. She had a bunch of shots on goal and an assist.
