Brantford

We were away all weekend in Brantford for Mark's hockey tournament. They were 1-1-1. Mark was MVP for the first game and the coaches told him he played even better during the second game.
Of course Brantford is where the Great One #99 Way.ne Gret.zky is from and his dad, Walter, is still very involved with hockey there. He was in the arena signing autographs to a huge line of kids and adults on Saturday. Sadly, Wayne was in town last weekend not this weekend.



After a day of hockey, everyone spent some time in the water at the sports center. There were 4 pools, high diving boards and a water slide for the kids to enjoy. The place was huge and it was hard to keep your eye on them all. We really were relying on lifeguards! Jade loved the waterslide. I was too chicken to let her jump off the high board into 16ft of water.


When you are in a hotel with a number of families with kids on the same hockey team you spend a lot of time running the halls, eating, drinking and making friends. Mark was soooooo tired on Sunday that I found him sleeping standing up in the mattesses at Costco!!
