The Zim Life: Last night of vacation

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.
