Guiness World Record

Where did the week go? Having another 4-day week really made time fly. Randy was popping in and out to various places for work. Kindergarten was keeping me on my toes with schedule changes. Kimberly was having fun at Wise Owl learning about the violin. Lexus has been studying for a major science test on Monday and Austin has been living the high life (play, eat, nap, repeat). Friday night, we spent a quiet night at home. But, Saturday had more in store for us! A couple weeks ago, we got 2 free tixs at the library for a Cyclones hockey game. Randy was browsing the Internet yesterday and just happened to see an ad for the Cyclones, so we decided to go. After dropping Austin off at Grandma O's to play with 2 of his cousins, we headed to the game. The Cincinnati Cyclones beat the Dayton Bombers 2-1 and boy was it a thrilling game. There were two major fights, lots of penalties and power plays. Kimberly was in heaven...she could scream and no one cared. She was just another crazy fan.
Getting back to the title of this post...we witnessed a record being set for the Guinness Book of World Records...The longest head slide on ice! Twister the Cyclones mascot made three attempts to break the record and his longest slide was 114 feet. The girls thought this was the coolest thing ever! It had been so long since we had been to a hockey game, it was so much fun to go to a game again. For anyone that knows us, Randy & I used to be total hockey groupies...going to every home game and watching any hockey game we could find on TV. Between the two of us we own 6 hockey jerseys, but like anything more important things came into our life (Lexus, Kimberly, & Austin) and we were more than happy to give up hockey to spend every waking moment with them. Nice how things can come around full circle...now we can share our love of hockey with Lexus, Kimberly & Austin! This was Twister's warm up attempt!

This was the real deal! Guinness World Record!
