Liam's 1st Oilers Game

Working in an oilfield office definitely has it's perks...like getting tickets to Oilers games! So last Friday we took off early from work and headed to the city for Liam's first live NHL game. We were hoping to bring Liam to an Oilers game this season but didn't realize it would be so early. Let's just say I'm glad the tickets were free cause we were only able to watch the 1st period. After that, Liam was bored and decided he didn't want to sit anymore. It was definitely an interesting experience. Josh and I tagged teamed taking him out and walking around the stadium. We got a lot of those "looks" from people that either sympathized with us or were wondering "why would anyone pay that kind of money for a 2 year old". I've found that this age with Liam gets me a lot of those looks :) We were hoping the whole excitement of actually seeing the Oilers play would make Liam sit for the whole three periods. I think we had our expectations a little too high :)

I brought my little camera to capture Liam's first Oiler's game.





This is during the practice...where Liam actually sat for more then a minute. He wouldn't take his eyes off the ice :)



They played Detroit and lost 2-1. I managed to get one shot of the game :)


And I did manage to get a t-shirt. I've decided my current favorite player is Eberle. Hopefully we'll be able to catch another game this season so I can wear it.
