Extra Special Leap Year

Months and monts ago, we looked up the Buffalo Sabres (NHL) schedule and saw that they were going to be in So Cal on Feb 29, 2012!

We got a great deal on tickets and went to the game with a co-worker of mine (that is from Buffalo).

And – we surprised Nicholas the day of the game.

We got to the arena early enough for the warm-ups. Nicholas stood right up to the glass and was surprised at how HARD the puck hits the glass!

Nicholas liked the zambonie.

By the 3rd period – he was exhausted.

A little ice cream to pep him up a bit.

Sabres WON 2-0!! And I am still in shock at how much fighting there was. The Ducks were TERRIBLE losers. I feel embarrassed for them.

Little man was asleep within 10 minutes.

We had a blast! Wish we could see the Sabres play LIVE, more often.

Andy & I were talking today and we are thinking of making it an annual trip (he is a HUGE Sabres fan).
