Prowlers Rule!!

We attended the Prowler v. Warroad Warrior hockey game last Thursday night with the Drevlows and sat at the top of the section behind the Prowler goal and enjoyed ourselves a tremendous game of hockey. There were a ton of people there compared to usual for the much expected matchup between the two giants of Northwest Minnesota high school hockey. The Prowlers scored quickly and never looked back, burying the Warriors by a score of 5-0. They scored one of their goals only 6 seconds into the third period, so they didn't have much trouble handling the puck that night.

Come Saturday this past weekend, Drew and Tyler Widerski celebrated both of their birthdays at the same time and had Aaron and Daniel over for cake and ice cream followed by an afternoon of sledding on the old Armory Hill that sits behind the National Guard Armory on the outskirts of town. It overlooks the river, which surprisingly hasn't frozen in that stretch of water yet, so Pastor Dave and I were joking about looking for the "first splash." It was safe, though, as nobody got closer than a pool's length from the river's edge. When I say Armory "Hill," I use the term "hill" somewhat loosely. It's not what a person in Seattle may consider a "hill," but nonetheless, all the kids had a great time and a few even managed to "catch some air" off a jump they had made with a depression in the hillside. All cheeks were bright pink by the time we all piled into the Weasel for the ride home. Aaron and Danny both had the time of their lives and were begging to return the next day for more sledding as they had never done that before.
