Facing Off at Face-Off Fest

One of the highlights of hockey season has come and gone. Face-Off Fest is an event put on by the Ducks to thank all of their season ticket holders. They have free food, tours of the locker room, skating on the ice, autographs and interacting with the players, bounce houses and much more. For our daughters, it's the best part of hockey season! Once again, we had a blast! The highlight for Kiley and me was skating on the ice. It's amazing how big of an area it is once you're standing on it. Kiley is still learning how to ice skate, so other than one lap on my own, I skated with Kiley to keep her from falling. We loved standing on center ice, right on the giant "D." John and Makenna watched and cheered us on from the glass and Makenna was more than happy when I went to one of the camera holes in the glass to hand her my sunglasses that were still on top of my head. Makenna's highlight was getting her favorite player, Corey Perry, to sign his trading card, she already has his autograph on her jersey and then bumping into him later on the elevator. Johns highlight? Having a trading card made of him and his girls. It was a great family night and we're already looking forward to next year! GO DUCKS!!!!
