Above is a zoomed in picture of Nolan (through the glass so that also diminished the quality, but that really is him). He worked very hard and had a great time! They really had the kids skating A LOT, so he is definitely sleeping soundly tonight. The approx. 20 kids range from 4 years old to probably 12, as this program exists to open up hockey to a wide range of kids. The kids played a cat and mouse like "tag" game, started to learn how to "hockey stop," gliding on one skate, and did a lot of superman slides (skating and then falling forward and getting right up and continuing to skate). Once he got the idea that he was supposed to fall down, he did great on this. This was a lot of getting up off the ice, which even made Mom and Dad feel tired for him! Mom, Dad and Barrett are VERY proud of Nolan for having fun and trying his best! If we can avoid any more compressor failures at the ice rink, he'll get to skate again Friday evening...before the Bulls home opener.
I also participated in a 2 person scramble golf tournament for the church youth group Sunday at our local par-3 course. I ended up with a decent partner and we "pulled a Mickelson" with a one shot lead on 18 and double bogeyed to come in 2nd overall. However, at last check I had earned two flag prizes, including one closest to the pin (2nd of these this year in only two tournaments!) and one longest birdie putt!!! Not bad for my first time on that course this year! One of the flag prize sponsors was the hospital gift shop, so we'll see if I win a teddy bear or a Get Well Soon bouquet! Kelly and the boys will have to pick up any prize at church next week, since I'll be sleeping off a last midnight shift.
Hopefully will have more to post soon. We hope you are all well and having a nice early autumn.
