Zachary has become a HUGE hockey fan. We are not sure how or why but he would chose to watch Hockey on ES.PN before any other tv show or sporting event. He talks non-stop about the St. Louis Blues and the Pittsburgh Penguins. When it came time for Christmas he told us he wanted to go to a Hockey Game. We figured there was no way because of Kevin's work schedule and the STL Blues Schedule. Then, we realized there was a hockey game against Chicago Blackhawks on Dec 28th in STL. We had already planned to go on a mini-vacay to STL the 27-29 so this was perfect. Then we went to get tickets and they were so expensive. When our friends the Moss's came down the 1st week of Dec we asked them the best way to get cheaper tickets. Ryan Moss said, "I can get them free from my contractors. Don't you worry". We did not mention anything to Zach in case it didn't work. But sure enough the week before Christmas we got a text from Ryan that said he got 4 tickets for FREE! So we wrapped up a gift from Mr. Ryan and gave it to Zach for Christmas.
Zachary was SO excited! It just so happens that I was able to get some STL Blues SWAG in time for Christmas for Zach and Kevin to wear to the game.
On Dec 28th, Ryan, Libby, Zach & Kevin went to the game. Before the dad's left I made them raise their right hand and promise that they would take pictures. I really didn't want to go to the hockey game but I wanted pictures to see what happened. Sweet little Libby really did not want to go at all. But she was a trooper and went. Becki and I stayed back at their house with the 2 year olds Will & Elin. It was nice relaxing night at the Moss house. The guys upheld their promise and texted pictures throughout the night. Supposedly it was a sold out game because the Blackhawks are the Blues biggest rivals. It also was the BEST hockey game in history according to Ryan Moss because the Blues were behind the entire game and then tied it up. At the end it went into overtime with the Blues winning in the shootout. Unbelievable!
Zach returned to the Moss house at 11 pm all smiles. He LOVED it! Thank you Moss Family for the once-in-a-life-time experience.
