Monday was the first time I ever attended a Anaheim Ducks game as a guest. I've watched as an employee from the vomitory through the years... but nothing - nothing compares to sitting in a seat as a fan. Especially when it's Ducks vs. cross-town rivals Los Angeles Kings. Our tickets weren't for the nosebleed section either. I had prime seating. It was a dream come true. Special for all those reasons and special for another reason... a date with my 7 year old! He's a funny kid. He was joking about hockey before the game but I think he's a new fan.
We let loose. We yelled, we chanted "Beat LA!" "Let's go Ducks!", We stood up and cheered. We smiled. A LOT. The game was a nailbiter. Every time the Ducks would score a goal - Kings would return with a goal too. It went into overtime but our Ducks won!!! Still #1 in the West! It was a good time. We couldn't stop talking about the game and convinced my husband that we have to take the whole family to a game!

Duke could not get over how cool the Ducks blimp was.
There's our banners! A 2013 banner would sure look nice up there!
The Ducks came out to Imagine Dragons "Radioactive" song. Our family is huge fans of that song!
During the first intermission, The Smile Generation had the Smile Cam! up and so many people were excited! Huge smiles from everyone!
We snuck away to visit some of my coworkers and ran into Wildwing! YAY!!!
Big Smiles!!!
