Hockey

I'm a bit late with this hockey post.  My intention was to put up some Thanksgiving pictures but I realized I haven't mentioned hockey yet! Meredith started up again about a month ago.  This year there are about 120 mini mites so they had quite a few new kids sign up.  I think they really made an effort for people to try it for free and emphasize that you don't have to have experience to start playing.  The kids got divided up into 4 teams based on ability and Meredith got placed on the 2nd team.  She will be in mini mites again next year so she will probably move up to the 1st team next year.  There are a lot more girls signed up this year.  Out of the 120 or so kids, there are 21 girls and there are 5 other girls on Meredith's team.  Once she is done with mini mites next year, she will move up to U8 which is all girls. 

Greg signed up to coach this year.  I love seeing them out on the ice together.

I think she is doing really well with it.  She hasn't learned to be competitive yet though.  She likes it so we will stick with it.  We're so thankful that this gets us out of the house on the cold weekends of the winter.  Even if it is a 7:00 a.m. practice.
