odin’s team lost their first game against a milwaukee area team, but won the second against a team I can’t remember the name of! it was one of the best games i’ve seen them play in part because they game back from being down 6-4 to winning 7-10.
tomorrow they’ll play against appleton for 3rd place trophy!
I’m broadening my role beyond youth hockey sports journalist to game videographer so they can review in practice.
i couldn’t not do it.
the hotel entrance sign doesn’t specify floor hockey sticks, so they must be fair game #probablynot
first game is tomorrow morning at 7:45am. ugh ( you have to be at the arena an hour early ).
odin made these dolls in his handwork class last year. it continues to be one of his favorite classes. i think nurturing the idea that you can create things with your own hands is A Good Thing.
odin and friends from school attended a comicon at the local library in october 2014. someone was printing “instant” photos and one ended up on our fridge.
the brown splotch is reminder of the day I tried to make carbonated chocolate milk and it exploded all over our kitchen 🙂
odin’s hockey team has best record in their league and now they’re headed to state championships after beating sparta 7-2 in “playdowns”. here’s a nice shot of one of the viroqua thunder players, after receiving well placed pass from the player in the background, getting the puck past two defenders to score a goal. in the photo, the puck is juuuuuust getting up and over the goalie’s stick.
that’s odin standing in the top left corner playing defense 🙂
waaaaay down the hill on the right is louise hemstead, organic valley’s chief operating officer. i can’t believe i missed getting a photo of her jumping on a sled and ripping down the hill. fun time with great people in a lovely setting. i haven’t sledded on a hill this big since I was a kid at my grandparent’s home in jonesboro, maine.
