Lil Gretzky

Ever since we took the kids to the Savannah Hockey Classic Ryan has been bugging us to get him a hockey stick. Well, we finally heard back from the Savannah Sting and they had their first practice yesterday afternoon. So we ran out and bought him his first pair of Rollerblades™ & some basic pads. [We have to order his gear off-line, cause whoda thunk it...no hockey gear in the south!? Atleast not his size!]
The coach is great...he's from the Czech Republic so his accent is 'interesting' but the kids seem to understand him just fine! Putting some shots on net! The only break he took, long enough to grab some Gatorade and head back out onto the rink Skating around with the coach
...after 2 hours of straight skating, he was still heart broken when it was time to go!
BUT, he had a BLAST! He woke up this morning...came into our bedroom and the first thing he said to Fred was..."Lets go play hockey"! We've already been out to the rink once today...it's amazing how coordinated he is at 4.5!
