When your sister is at a Girl Scout Camp sleepover and you’re done with band camp, it’s time to head to the hockey rink. I mean it’s 105 degrees so what better way to cool off.
Cinco and I went to catch a development scrimmage for the Las Vegas Knights! In true Mom fashion, I drove straight to CityNational Arena after band camp and of course wound up being about 45 min early for the event. And yes we did get good seats.
As an added bonus, ‘cousin’ Jack Dugan took the ice!
I did have a few flash backs to NHL 2018 Xbox while at the scrimmage. I kept wanting to ‘announce’ the plays and more importantly when a guy almost staked into the goal I felt a LOT better about my Xbox hockey playing skills. As I frequently crash into the goal! So my playing is highly realistic!
After we went for a mother-son dinner.
Everything was going great. We made a mini sinking paper Titanic, The Princess colored in paper dolls and outfits that matched the historical period, Cinco did a worksheet learning about primary sources related to the Titanic.
Of course, I didn’t let this stop me. I pressed on with day two. We did a packet on the Titanic and made our own candy portholes! Hello, who doesn’t like eating gummy octopus and swedish fish? Mind you, these were underwater porthole as the ship did SINK. (
This meant that Cinco had to tag along along with my co-leader’s son (who will now be known as The Boy Scout).
We actually spent 5 and 1/2 hours at the pool, having lunch, attending the party and staying after for swim lessons. Let’s just say it was very water logged day…
Normally, we assemble the fair village outside but sadly this year the wind did NOT cooperate and were forced to set up inside in the dining room.
