    Love how both kids just look bored and casual. Tells you that this is a super involved dad and his helping is an ordinary event. Awesome!

    Love it. My 6 year old son plays hockey too but we live in Dallas so it’s not nearly as popular as say football.

    That looks like it would be a blast to watch. I am good on roller skates, but ice skates are a different kind of animal!

    That’s an unfamiliar scene to me–except for the ring pops at sporting events, those we have!

    I like that photo. Olivia looks like she doesn’t give one ounce of trouble. :) Appropriately distracted with a lollipop. How was the game?

    I’ve seen Wordless Wednesday around and I did it today. Another blogger saw it and asked me who owns it and if there is a button. I tracked you down through He & Me & 3. I came up with a button. Below is the code. You’re welcome to use it. It does link to our blog.

    I could probably e mail it to you.
    I don’t see your e mail here, though.

    Cool for daddy… Olivia is more interested in the lollipop than the ice skating.
    Is it a requirement in Canada for boys to know how to play hockey??? Just asking… :-)
    Great photo, I love family time!

    What a wonderful moment to capture. I love that all three of them are unaware of the camera. Jackson looks so focused and serious…and Olivia looks the opposite – laid-back with her lollipop! :)
