Tadhg's team, the Majors, had their first hockey game on Sunday. Tadhg had been waiting for this for a long time and was excited, and a little nervous, prior to the game. It was great to see the team kitted out in their blue jerseys. Tadhg played well and got an assist in his first ever game! Tadhg (and dad) are looking forward to the long season ahead.
It has become a birthday tradition to spend a night in the Great Wolf Lodge and Tadhg's 9th birthday was no exception. Straight after Tadhg's first hockey practice on Saturday, the family packed up and headed to the Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls. Tadhg and Sadhbh enjoyed the water park on Saturday before finishing off the day with Story Time in the lobby. Sunday was more water park and MagiQuest (running around the hotel with a wand on a scavenger hunt!). Sadhbh was pampered during her spa day getting her nails done and a hair extension (just in time for her school photo on Monday!).
Tadhg attended a try it out ice hockey event a few weeks ago and loved it so much that he signed up for the next hockey season. Tadhg was drafted by the Majors team and had his first practice session on Saturday. Tadhg was so excited to start and felt ready after a session of power skating lessons. Hockey practice proved to be a bit harder than power skating and Tadhg was sweating at the end of the hour but still smiling and looking forward to game day!
