Band and Hockey Updates!

Yesterday was game 2 of the second round for hockey. Game 1 we lost but game 2 was a different story!!! What an awesome game. Matt was home sick so I sent Kaitlyn off to horse riding lessons with a friend and I stayed to watch the game. The girl scored within the first 3 minutes of the game!!! What an awesome match up between the two teams. They were very evenly matched and fought the whole way through. It was very intense especially the 3rd period. The score was still 1-0 in our favor. We ended up getting a penalty against us with less than 2 minutes left in the game. So it was 4 on 5. Then with 1 minute to go the other team pulled their goalie so it was 4 on 6. The puck stayed in our end the whole time and our girls were able to keep it out of the net and WON THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man I was almost sitting in the mom's lap next to me it was so exciting!!!!!!! The girls did so great and they were so proud of themselves. Our last game in this round is on Sunday. I know they can WIN this next game.

Today Kaitlyn and the school band traveled to Collingwood ( 2 hours away ) for the spring Music Fest competition. They have been practicing hard for the last few weeks on 4 songs that they performed today in front of judges. They rode up to Collingwood on a coach bus which in itself is exciting for Kaitlyn who has never rode on a bus like that. The group performed their 4 songs then were able to participate in a "workshop" put on by professional musicians. In the end KTTSP band won SILVER!!!!!!!! YEAH KTTSP!! Last year they go bronze. So I say next year it's GOLD. Kaitlyn really enjoyed herself and got alot out of the experience. They had a wonderful picture take of the group but for some reason I am not able to post it. I got it scanned but there is something wrong with the way it scanned and I can't figure it out. I think I may just take a picture of the picture so you can see what wonderful kids are in this awesome group!!

Matt and I are SO proud of our girls and the accomplishments that they have living here in Canada. It's been a wonderful experience, one that I think will live with our girls forever.
