The Wolfe Journal: Mudbugs

We took Mira to her 2nd Mudbugs game last night. She really liked it and had fun playing with her friends Cate and Sullie (the Koveleskie's went, too). She ate lots of Skittles, stayed up WAY past her bedtime, and was very exited....obviously, this ended in a HUGE tantrum. It was the best fit she's thrown thus far, but surely not the best she'll ever throw; she's just learning how to really do it, so I'm sure she will be practicing a lot over the next few months.

But, other than that (and a horrible, horrible woman who sat in front of us), we had a great time, and Mira really enjoyed seeing the ice, the Zambonie, Clawed, Lil' Bugger, and the rest of the Mudbug action. We got a hockey puck to throw onto the ice after the 2nd period (we didn't win - Mira threw it in the stands below us and not actually onto the ice), and we got a bag of mudbugs to throw onto the ice after each goal scored by the Mudbugs. We were sitting behind one of the goals, so the net sort of prevented that from being to successful either. But, the kids enjoyed winging the plastic crawfish!

Mira like waving at Clawed but definitely did not want to go see him or get her picture with him (same as Santa).

In the first period, when Kenny started yelling at the Mudbugs to do this or stop doing that, Mira became his little parrot yelling at the top of her lungs and with great emotion, "Get 'em!" and "Shoot! Shoot! SHOOT!" and "Get it out of there, guys!!" and so on, and so forth. It was pretty entertaining and I don't think Kenny even noticed she was repeating everything he was saying; good thing he kept it clean!!
