Peewee AA Spirit of Duluth Tournament - December 6-8

Canyon had his first out of town tournament with his Peewee AA team in Duluth. It was a frigid weekend with temps as low as -17 degrees. Presley stayed in Eden Prairie with some friends because she also had hockey games and Dad flew up on Saturday after a trip to see Pearl Jam in WA. So the weekend started with Mom and Canyon driving up together in a white knuckle 4.5 hour drive. The morning of our first game, the steam was coming up off of Lake Superior. It was a beautiful but cold morning and the boys started off strong with a win against Elk River. However, they ended the weekend with a 1-2-1 record. While not a winning weekend, it was a fun bonding weekend with our new team.





On Friday night, each of the boys had to give speeches on a famous hockey player. Canyon did an awesome job on Nicklas Lidstrom from the Detroit Redwings. Good experience and great practice for these young boys.



And while we were away, Presley got some crazy hair with her friend Taylor! Thanks to our pals to supporting us while we were out of town.

Thanksgiving in Minnesota

For the first time in several years, we spent Thanksgiving in Minneseota. We were sad to not be with our good pals in California this year but we had a very special holiday with Great Granny, Grandpa and Grammie Liz, and Kasie. We also enjoyed hockey tournaments for both Canyon and Presley.
