more hockey

We had a GREAT time in Duluth this weekend.  We went down Saturday afternoon and spent the afternoon catching some sweet deals at the mall.  After that, we drove over to the MARS Arena to watch St. Scholastica (ranked #4) and UWS (#2) play hockey.  It was a HUGE game-- with over 1600 screaming fans.  Of course the biggest reason we went was because Brenn plays for St Scholastica.  Anyways- the underdogs (CSS) won 7-2 and we were THRILLED throughout the whole game.  We were cheering and dancing and screaming (ok, Tina and I were dancing) and just had a blast.  Another highlight was the throughout the game people would come by and throw CSS t-shirts in the crowd.  SOMEHOW, we ended up catching 4 shirts.  Here are a few pics of Brennan in the goal during warm-ups, excited fans and then Tina, Brenn and I at Applebees celebrating Brenn's bday after the game.  We can't wait to go back and cheer them on again.  

This morning we got up, made a quick trip to Starbucks, then Jesse told me he had to go get a book from Barnes and Noble, so we stopped briefly at the mall.... only long enough for him to run in, run to the store that had the perfume i wanted, buy it secretly, and come back to the car with my new gift (a sweet surprise)! Then, we headed back out to dad's to watch some football with him, Uncle Pa and Erin/Bill.   It's been a busy weekend..... good thing it's teacher inservice tomorrow!  :)
