Nobody who knows me believes I did it...

But I actually did! I played ice hockey Thursday night! It was super scary and kinda fun and I'm really glad I tried it. I need to say, though, that I felt like a fish out of water...but it's always good to try new things, right?!

It was Meghan's last hockey practice for the season so they had a family and friends night. Everyone was super nice and they all tried to help me out! It turned out to be a pretty fun night. I'm definitely glad I did it...that does not mean I'll be doing it again any time soon though!! :0)

Ready to leave for my first ice hockey experience!

Sitting on the bench waiting to get out there!

Ready to play!

Yep! That's me with the puck!

I'm not too smooth on the ice. This is me sliding around while trying to pose for the picture.

Little Megs said...: Note to everyone: Brittany was AWESOME out there! (Although I did have to remind her a few times not to do girly things like cross her legs while sitting on the bench haha. I don't know how she did it with all that gear on anyway. You're not wearing a skirt Brit-face!!) - Meghan; April 22, 2012 at 10:14 PM
