MSU HOCKEY CAMP

LAST WEEK KODIE WENT TO HOCKEY CAMP FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR. THIS YEAR 5 OF HIS FRIENDS WENT TOO. WE DROPPED HIM OFF SUNDAY AND PICKED HIM UP THURSDAY NIGHT, ONLY TO RUSH HIM TO HOCKEY TRYOUTS IN JACKSON AN HOUR LATER. (HE MADE THE TEAM) THE KIDS HAD A BLAST. THEY STAY IN THE DORMS ACROSS THE STREET FROM MUNN ICE ARENA. THEY GET TO STAY UP LATE, ORDER PIZZA, AND BEST OF ALL, NO PARENTS! ALTHOUGH, WE DID GO UP TWICE IN THE EVENING TO WATCH HIM SKATE. WE TOOK KODIE, TUCKER, AND SAMI TO TACO BELL ONE NIGHT.

6/13/2008 TIGERS vs DOGERS

FRIDAY NIGHT WE WENT TO SEE THE TIGERS GAME. IT WAS MY FATHER'S DAY PRESENT FROM KODIE. TYLER WENT WITH US. IT STORMED ALL THE WAY UP. WE THOUGHT THE GAME MIGHT BE CANCELLED. IT WASN'T. IT WAS HOWEVER DELAYED AN HOUR AND TEN MINUTES. WE WALKED INTO THE PARK & HEADED TO THE FOOD COURT TO EAT. IT WAS THERE THAT OUR ADVENTURE BEGAN. WE WERE GREETED BY 2 GUYS ASKING US IF WE HAD EVER SEEN THE MOVIE "JUMPER". THEY WERE DOING A PROMO FOR THE MOVIE AND HAD TO PICK 1 FAMILY AT RANDOM TO "JUMP UP" TO THE CHAMPION'S CLUB TO WATCH THE GAME, THEN "JUMP DOWN" TO THE FIELD AND WATCH THE POST GAME FIREWORKS FROM THE DOGERS DUGOUT. THEY EVEN GAVE KODIE AND TYLER FREE "JUMPER" DVD'S. WE WERE VERY SCEPTICAL AT FIRST, HOWEVER ONCE THEY SHOWED US THEIR DETROIT TIGERS BADGES AND ASSURED US IT WAS LEGIT, WE AGREED. THE CHAMPIONS CLUB WAS AWESOME. HERE IS A LINK SO YOU CAN CHECK OUT PICTURES OF THE CHAMPIONS CLUB. JUST CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW.
