sting game

thanks to tickets from J&B, Hudson and Daddy headed off to a sting game together last week.  there was much anticipation from Hudson.  the whole evening carries a lot of "wow" factor for a six year old hockey-loving boy.  Jeff was blown away by the focus Hudson had during all three periods.  once Jeff missed seeing a particular shot, but Hudson knew the number of the player that took it!  he was paying careful attention, taking it all in (as shown by later demonstrations done in the basement hockey room).  any that know Hudson also realize that focus is a.....ahem....challenge at times.  not this night.  not if the activity is something he is interested in.  and, as if the game experience alone wasn't enough, the night was capped off with a pat on the head by Connor Murphy, annnnndddd, Connor so kindly picked up THE game puck and handed it to Hudson as well.  to keep!!  well, as you can imagine, Hudson nearly flipped his lid on this one.  so cute....
the tuck-in prayer that night went like this....
"dear God, thanks that i could go to the sting game with dad.  thanks that i could get the puck from Connor Murphy and that he's my best friend!" 
sweet ending to a sweet evening for two happy boys.
