You Gotta Love Kids....

On Friday night we packed up the family and headed to Dawson Creek...I had to ref a junior B hockey game between the Dawson Creek Junior Canucks and the Sexsmith Vipers...Everybody came up to watch the game Friday night and then we continued on to Grande Prairie after the game...The kids were quite excited to see Dad skating around the ice with the other hockey players...I removed my helmet and skated out to centre ice just as the announcer came over the loud speaker and asked everybody to remove their hats and rise for the singing of our national anthem (by this point I was starting at the Canadian Flag up on the wall)....there was a 5-10 second period of dead silence right after everybody stood and when the anthem started...during this period of silence you could hear this little voice from across the rink yell..."Hi Dad!"....I did everything in my power not to start laughing...it was Austin trying to get my attention....I guess he figured it was a good moment as it was quiet in the arena....It was quite hilarious!!
