Adam plays on two hockey teams, one on Sundays and one on
Wednesdays. Usually, his games happen too late at night to attend or the
heat/cold keeps us away. But fortunately, Ella and I were able to attend the
last game of the summer, which also happened to be the last night of our
vacation.
It ended up being a lot hotter than we expected so Ella and
I had to hang in the shaded area away from the rink for most of the game, but
Ella got a lot of good hockey time regardless.
She knows the word hockey and it seemed she made the
connection between Adam running around and the word but it’s hard to tell. She
would get very excited when she spotted him on the rink or when he was waiting for
his next shift. She also spotted the “puck” (street hockey uses balls) during
the game, which was really exciting for her. Haha – she loves balls!
After the game we took our packed picnic dinner to the
Potomac River, overlooking the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. It was
a beautiful view. The boats and planes
(headed to Reagan) kept things exciting for Ella. She is going through a big
airplane/helicopter phase so this trip was perfect.
Wonderful day all around.
