This week Beth shared this fun challenge with us to share photographs of Sports, Sporting Events and Fun Games. Check out her inspirational post here!
As soon as I saw this theme, my heart took me to my kids in hockey. Our daughter about to enter her final year of minor hockey! Wild where the time has gone. I enjoy taking photos of anything and all that our kids are into or do.
Our family was also involved with the local Jr C team for years, our kids were quite young when we began and what is truly heart warming, is our son naturally gravitated to the same team helping with equipment and training etc – very cool! If you can find the smallest in this photo, thats our boy back in 2012.
To this last fall, taken with my cell phone. I just realized also under our family company sign, hits the heart even more!
This was the biggest part for us, the family being involved.
The kids helping Cherie. If we were at the arena, our kids were typically with us!
About 10 years later… through the nets and glass! Above mentioned son, also at the glass.
My absolute favourite to watch is my kids. Our son played hockey all his childhood, and finished a year ago. Our daughter did for a year then back to figure skating and then took a leap and went back to hockey at the beginning of U18! We were so proud of her!
Our son’s final year, was our daughters first year of being back in hockey, so many weekends were split if there were over lapping games. It was always so heart filling to me to get to any and all of our kids games. Especially knowing it doesn’t last long, while you are IN it, it feels like an eternity, now that we are on the other side, holy crap where did the time go!!!
This game below, was our daughters first game after we experienced a big loss in our family, my brother, her uncle passed. Within the first 3 min of the game, she scored! Over the couple years it was incredible watching her growth.
Our boy was given the C – Captain, for his final year of Minor Hockey. It truly was heart warming, he took that C to heart and was a true honor. He was also one of the tallest on the team, so he literally ‘watched over’ them.
Going through this challenge was a good reminder for me to get more of the kids sports up on Flickr into albums!
Fishing, our kids fav thing to do at a family cottage!
The annual egg toss… and then the explosion!
