Oh my goodness we could not have asked for better accommodations at the Minnesota Wild game. We arrived in St. Paul and checked into the hotel. Matt and I told the kids what we were doing, but Dalan wasn't excited and kept crabbing that he didn't want to go. When we got to the game we were escorted through glass door after glass door. We felt like royalty! I'm pretty sure we will never get the opportunity to do something like that again. We were escorted into our suite and told the caterer would be in shortly. There was popcorn, chips with three different dips, rice crispy bars with different toppings, brats with sour kraut, three cheese macaroni and cheese, sprite, lemonade, and water. Dalan quickly started turning things around and enjoying himself. I'm pretty sure all of us were enjoying ourselves.
The suite was donated by Dany Heatley! We wrote him a thank you note and sent him the address for this blog, so if he ever checks it out I would once again like to thank him from the bottom of my heart. I haven't seen Jayen, or any of us, smile like we did tonight. This was so amazing!
The kids loved being able to eat and watch the game from the countertop. Maybe it was more the excitement of getting huge rice crispie bars with chocolate chips and m&m's!
The balloon kept flying over the kids. They loved waving to it to see if they were going to be on the big tv.
The kids were dancing and bell ringing in the isles. Dalan and Jayen were booty shaking, and Brilyn was clapping at the players. The game went into overtime and the Wild won in a shoot out. Perfect ending!!!
One of the best parts of the night was also getting to share the suite with our good friends Amanda and Corey Krejce! It was such a surprise that the hospital called them and offered them tickets too. I'm so happy we got to reconnect and share the suite with them. Such an amazing family. We are so happy to know them. We love you guys!
