Watching the Wild

Some friends were kind enough to invite us to the Wild game last Sunday.  The varied reactions of my kids to the invitation was pretty interesting.

My youngest is a happy-go-lucky kid. Invite him to drive to Target and he's thrilled. So his immediate "yeah!" to the invitation was not a surprise.

My oldest doesn't reveal much so he can be hard to read. But, he seemed interested and actually had a nice time, so that was good.

Son number two initially demurred, claiming not to be much of a hockey fan.  "There will be food in the suite," I quietly said and his predictable reaction "Food?! Is this with the ****s?  They always have great seats!  Then I'm totally in." 

Son three loves sports. So I knew he'd say "yes" and that the Wild would be his favorite team, ever, by the time the game was over.

The boys had a great time at the game. And, I luckily escaped without having to buy too many souveneirs. That's always a bonus.
