Mighty Mites at the ‘Canes Game
So, we had something really exciting happen this evening. The IcePlex Mites program was invited to participate during the first and second intermissions of the Carolina Hurricanes game tonight against the Anaheim Ducks! I’ve witnessed this spectacle many times over the years and never thought I’d have a kid participating in it, but here we are! Every time Brian and I had been to a game and we saw the Mighty Mites, he always wanted to know when he could do it. I could never give him...

Welcome to a weekend edition post! On Saturday, Brian started out by going to the Lowe’s Build and Grow Hawkeye’s Quinjet Clinic. Hawkeye is a character from Marvel’s Avengers and Avengers Assemble. On Sunday, Alison spent a well-deserved afternoon at the day spa! While she was there, Brian was at his North Carolina State University 2015 Reading Skills Program for Entering 2nd Graders.
