The main event was a two-hour captains' practice. In addition to that, there were picture opportunities, face painting, cheap concessions, and more!
We first got the boys' picture with a couple of the cheerleaders/ice girls. The boys didn't really want to do it so I went with them. And this is the closest thing to a non-scowl that Rylan made.
We are starting to get a collection of pictures of the boys, me, and cheerleaders (all with Rylan being grumpy). This one is from a 2011 Titans game.
After walking around the arena a little and getting some $0.50 concessions, we sat down by the ice to await the start of practice. Carter was so excited he didn't even want to eat anything!
Rylan, on the other hand, had no problem shoveling in some popcorn!
Both boys were really excited when the players started coming out onto the ice. They were slowly coming out of the locker room and everytime a player came out, Rylan would point and yell, "Another one!!!"
We sat in the third row (the closest we'll ever be!) to watch and the boys were mesmerized for about 20 minutes.
When the boys started getting out their seats and not paying as much attention, we decided to head out (since it was a free event, we didn't feel obligated to stay to get our money's worth).
Neither boy wanted to have their face painted but somehow Brian eventually convinced them to have their hands done. Rylan got paw prints (which he refused to let me take a picture of) and Carter got Gnash, the mascot.
On our way out, we explored some of the upper seating areas (I think Carter liked the view from up here better - which is good, since that's where we can afford).
