Redwings!

After a summer full of reading, and recording onto entry blanks for the library contest, Avery was ECSTATIC to learn that she won tickets to a Redwings game through her summer reading efforts. The prize included tickets for our whole family, a t-shirt, and time on the field before the game. Here she is before the game, as the winners gathered at the Redwings store.

The grand prize winner won airfare and tickets to a Minnesota Twins game. First prize was a limo ride to this Redwings game and dinner at Dinosaur BBQ. Quite a few kids (including Avery) won the 2nd prize. They were all so excited and cute!

It was really fun to be down on the field before the game. We all got to go down, and Avery's name was announced over the loudspeaker.

Ella was so excited for her sister, and very glad that we could all participate in the festivities :)

We got settled in our seats, but watching the game was just part of the fun...

After the 3rd inning we decided that we needed a little walk to explore. I can't believe this was the girls' first Redwings game! They have never wanted to go. Now they can't wait to go again!

Of course we had to get some snacks!

Cotton candy, ice cream, peanuts -- it was hard to decide!

What a great family night -- one of our funnest times all summer!
