The whole family went to the Red Wings game last night for a late birthday party for Dylan. His birthday was the first day of school and we promised him after a month that he could have a party at our house with new friends from Kindergarten. Then we gave him an option: Red Wings game, or party at house with friends -- not much thought was required.
Everyone had a blast, however the Wings gave up a late goal with 23 seconds left and lost 3-2. It didn't matter for D, he got to see Nyquist score his 2nd goal of the season right in front of us (sweet wrist shot, top shelf), octopus was thrown on ice right in front of us and Madison made it on the scoreboard twice!! The octopus happened to get tossed on ice right as Cathy was going to the concession stand -- which led to questioning as to whether she was the guilty party or not! The crowd went crazy... and for the record, Mom was innocent. We all had a great time, hopefully we can make this a tradition!
