Pooch on the Pond



A few weekends ago the Grizzlies hockey was doing a promotional night called Pooch on the Pond. They do it every year and it is a night that you can take your dog to the hockey game. So, knowing that Mere was going (for those who don't know, she is a huge hockey fan and a season ticket holder) we decided to go and take Conan. What you do is they let you in a separate door, you go up the stairs where there is a ticket table and a section is blocked off only for those with dogs. It was fun. The sirens when we scored scared Conan a bit and he tried to hide under the seat, but by the end of the game he was really into it and would try to follow the puck. Mere's dog Kia was doing that from the start. It was so funny to watch the dogs watch the game. It was fun to be there with other dog lovers....at one point, the guy behind us let Kia lick his ice cream bowl clean! Before the game started, they played how much is that doggy in the window and a dog barked in the song, yeah, that set all the dogs off, they all started barking. It was so funny. Anyway, it was a great night. Thanks for the tickets Mere, you are an awesome sistee!

Murder Mystery Weekend

We went to our annual murder mystery weekend the first part of Feb. There was a lot of the same old thing, but we also changed things up a bit. Usually we go up Ogden Canyon from a friday to a sunday, and usually, we feel like that is not enough time. So, this year, we went thursday night to sunday and we went up to Midway. It was awesome. The boys got in two days of snowboarding at the canyons, and the girls got in a day of shopping at the outlet malls (so fun and we found some great deals!!!) and saturday we had our hang out day. Saturday we got up, got the boys breakfast and sent them on their way. Then, we got to work....we did a 20 minute workout video that kicked our butts, then we headed down to the gym for an hour. After all that, we decided to reward ourselves and walk down into midway to the closest gas station for a fountain drink. Lucky for Les, Melissa, and me, Aly had to go to the store, so she drove to the store and then met us at the gas station so we had a ride home, which was really good because I don't think we would have made it back to the condo on our feet! The weekend was also filled with multiple trips to the hot tub, which of course, was awesome!!


Aly was in charge of our game and dinner and as always, it was great. We had burgers and fries and rootbeer floats, which went along with the theme of the game 1954 class reunion. We had a great weekend and I am already looking forward to next year's game!!!
