BlueJackets Draft Day Party

June 26, 2009


The Columbus BlueJackets held a FREE Draft Day party at the arena so we decided to attend.


We got to do all kinds of fun stuff that we normally don't get to do like, view the locker rooms (really nice TV, workout gear, etc for CBJ - bare bones minimum for the visiting team), sit on the zamboni, play street hockey, and just have a good time.

Both boys wanted to play street hockey. Joey was soooo cute. All he did for the 5 minutes they were out there was fall down, stand-up & say "I'm ok." No one was ever near him nor did he ever really get near the ball but he had fun. Kurtis got upset because "the goalie was not doing his job" to Kurtis' liking. Not that Kurtis has any idea what he should be doing... Finally, as we were getting ready to leave, Jeff was able to get this picture with Jared Boll, one of the players. Wish Kurtis had smiled but Jared is a cutie...
We try to go to anything we can find that is FREE when it comes to the BlueJackets. Also helping out the Foundation has been a great experience for Jeff and I. We get to meet new people and know that our efforts are helping great causes.

Last Day of School Party

May 29th was Kurtis' last day of Kindergarten. We had a party with both classes of kids (50 in all) that consisted of Potato sack races, egg race, cornhole, balloon race, cat tail, face painting and finally an brownie ice cream sundae!

All the kids really enjoyed the day. Made it very special and fun. No major problems except how to rotate the kids around so everyone had a chance to do everything.

Well, on to Next year!!
