reduced admission to hockey game today
with donation of a teddy bear
patrons threw the bears onto the ice
after the amerks scored their first (and, it turned out, only) goal
multiple mascots made appearances,
ostensibly to help the amerks moose
celebrate his "birthday"
(moose didn't pose for pictures, though)
recognizable mascots included
the rhino (above) and the redwings bird (below)
there were other, less recognizable, mascots,
including this foodlink canned food item
we're still not sure who this fella is
we were particularly bowled over by this guy
(actually, i suppose he'd have had to have been
a bowling ball, not pin, for that joke to work)
we *think* this armadillo
is the mascot from a new BBQ joint in town
obviously, the kids like posing with "friends,"
particularly ones they'd met before
(including simon's favorite, spidey)
the kids had other friends at the game,
including toby's school friend colden
and his little brother jackson
the amerks lost 1-4 to the hershey bears,
but a good time was had by all
(except, perhaps, by the amerks!)
