Harrison's and Laura's road trip


Harrison and Laura went to Charlotte, NC to see Astrid Haven and the Shock Pop All Stars.
They went up to Charlotte and stayed with Icey (aka Brendon), Harrison knows the band and wanted to see them in Person. I am sure this is a weird band to many of us but then Led Zeplin, KISS, the Sex Pitols and Styx was weird to our parents. I remember Mom being horrified when I opened the Rolling Stones album, Goat Head Soup, and I pulled out the picture of the pot of soup with a goats head in it. She commented to Dad "I can't believe that we bought that for her" Then when she hear the music she just closed the door to my room. I haven't heard this particular band but I do admit I like quite a few of the bands they listen to especially Evanescence, and Disturbed
I can say that Harrison got his taste for Music honestly, Terry loves the some of the same bands. This is a rite of passage the first "road trip" on there own.

Gwinnett Gladiators Hockey


For those of you who know me I love Hockey. Our first date (Terry and Judy) was a hockey game. So for Christmas I bought 12 tickets vouchers to the Gladiators games. They are a double A team (the farm team for the Chicago blackhawks) and they play in Duluth. We went as a family in March and both kids loved the games. Harrison and Laura went to another. Tonight Adrian and I went to the last game of the season before playoffs. Terry was playing a gig (at the bowling alley) and Adrian and I decide we would make a night of it. We went out to eat sushi and we went to the game. We had a blast! Adrian loves the game. It is fun to see him get into the game, clap and just laugh. We (Adrian and I) have decided that we are going to try to get playoff tickets! It is so great to have something that everyone likes that we can do as a family or just a few of us go. I think we will be going to the games much earlier in the season next year!

Adrian got a kick out of posing with bloo from cartoon network!
