They shoot ......They SCORE!!

Justin and Marina both had their first hockey goals ever....on the same day! Justin took the puck away from Chazy and headed up the middle of the ice with another player right on his tail. He was one on one with the goalie....he shot, the goalie put his arm up and it went right by him. Justin skated by the net and stood behind it with his arms straight up in the air. We all jumped up and down, screamed and practicly cried. It was a miracle. He has been waiting two years for a goal. Then, we went off to his next game in Essex and Marina had a game in Burlington. In the middle of his game, I got a phone call that Marina made a goal. I guess a player from her team took a shot and the goalie went down without the puck. The puck was sitting in back of the goalie, Marina saw the opportunity and hit it right in. Again....screaming, jumping and carrying on! Nobody could believe that after all this time waiting for either one of them to score, they both make their first goal on the same day!! It was great.

Later, we had Felix's birthday party. It was the usual. Cake, ice-cream and presents. He made out like a bandit. I got him the first season of the first Star Trek. We had to throw out all his old Star Trek tapes during the mold incident. The CDs are much more compact and light anyway. Mom got him a lantern he wanted and of course, tons of money and gift certificates. Lucky bum.

We got up early again this morning to be in St. Albans by 7am. Justin's team actually played pretty well. They were all fairly aggressive (except Justin who was still asleep.) The first goal was made by our team into our net scoring for the other team. I guess it was a mistake, but not a good one. Then the other team had some really good shots on the goal that the goalie couldn't stop. Other than that, it wasn't too bad.

We went out for breakfast in St. Albans and headed home. Now, Alex Bergeron is over playing with Justin for the afternoon.
