Sunday afternoon of hockey

For the summer, Alex is playing on his old hockey team as well as the team he plays for now. Sunday afternoon, the Gravediggers game was at a time that the kids and I could actually go and watch. That doesn't happen very often so we tagged along with Alex to see the game. As usual, I took LOTS of pictures. Ashton just loves to watch Alex play and then they can talk about it after. He wants to be able to play with Alex so badly!!!

Here is our boy, sporting his Gravediggers team shirt, holding his stick in the stands.

Sunday's picture taking ended for me when Alex and another player on his team collided and Alex hit the ice, not just once, but his head hit again when Tim fell on top of him. Alex as you can see from the picture was face down on the ice not moving.
I've never been at a game where he got hurt. My heart started pounding. All I could think about was that Ashton and Maddie are both glued to the glass watching him NOT get up. They both did good and stayed calm. He finally got up and thinks he probably had a concussion but you know men..... he refused to go to the doctor and get it checked. Ashton told Alex later on at dinner that he almost cried when he saw that he wasn't getting up. :( We may want to skip out on hockey games from now on. LOL
