2:13 pm - Brownlee (Claire) and Breeny (Monique) landed at YOW (International Airport), welcomed by Kate and myself. After a quick hug and catch up, we loaded their gear into the car - then headed for a "quick tour" of Ottawa - trying desperately to find a ground hog to show off Canada's amazing and diverse wildlife.
Arriving at home, we did a quick tour of the house - with a Chipmunk wandering through our back garden being one of the highlights! - before taking them on a surprise activity- a SENS game. Though it was only an exhibition game, we were excited at the prospect of seeing Ottawa finally win (even though they were playing the tough Philadelphia outfit - the Flyers). The seats we had were amazing - courtesy of a friend of ours - sitting in the 100 level - about 12 rows back from the glass. After a couple of quick snaps, we took in the action, with Ottawa falling behind quickly, before scoring three times during the game - to win 3-1. The girls were lucky to experience some big hits, as well as Neil (very tough) deciding he was going to knock the stuffing out of the oppostion players, dropping the gloves - earning himself a 5 minute rest....well deserved!
An excellent evening was had, followed by a beer in the bar upstairs with a few mates of ours....good fun!
