First Blackhawks Game

Sunday we went to Elliot's first Blackhawks' game with Katie and Kara Angelini. We planned to take the bus but were running late so we had to take a taxi ("No car seat, Dad.") Notice in the picture at the bus stop a ghost Dad reflection like in 3 Men and a Baby.

The game was a little loud but generally well received. Lemonade and popcorn have that effect.

Explaining hockey to a kid who has never seen it is a bit complex but he did call a 4 minute major on himself and request I build a penalty box for him on Monday so some info must have stuck. Also, explaining why the Blackhawks fan behind us was so angry at his own team was a bit hard to do. Similarly, when girls in bikinis came out mid period to scrape excess ice up E.B was baffled, "Dad, why are there girls on the ice."

After he got home, he drew his impressions of the game. Left to right, the stadium, the referee (in the striped shirt near the word "Dad"), below that the goalkeeper and two regular players with skates resembling the letter "E".
