Church Hockey Night

We attended the annual church hockey night in January.

On the night we went there was a special guest.  Ben Zobrist, who grew up in this area and currently plays for the Chicago Cubs, who won the World Series and people around here are NUTS about it.  But more importantly...  Ben helped the Kansas City Royals win the World Series the previous year. :)

We were running just a little late so we got there right as he was introduced.

So we walked in and watched that part...

Then went to find our seats with friends.


Then after the national anthem, Ben Zobrist dropped the first puck. 

And we settled in to watch the game.
(What are the chances of Derek and Miles blinking at the same time? Apparently pretty good!)

It was a good, close game!

With fun entertainment between periods.  See that blimp? It's remote controlled and drops coupons.

Owen did okay for how late we were there.  Snacks help. 

Speaking of snacks...  (insert eyeroll)

Owen found out he likes cotton candy.

Cooper eventually moved down to sit with his friend, Zach.

And after a sudden death situation, our Peoria Rivermen won the game!

After the game there was a concert with Ben Zobrist's wife, Julianna.  We couldn't see well and it was 10pm, so we didn't stay long.  But we enjoyed the whole evening.
