Given it was going to be a long time sitting in seats watching a game they probably wouldn&#8217;t follow well, we decided to find alternate plans for the littles.  <\/p>\n<p>I called my friend Sandi, who now lives only 7 minutes away.  Her daughter Hollyn is one of Lainey and Dylan&#8217;s bestest friends, and Dylan and Hollyn have a special connection with their (opposite leg!) prosthesis&#8217;.  Sandi was thrilled to have them over for their first-ever sleepover!  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/70803758@N00\/6885949124\/\" title=\"hockey 6 by marleyec1998, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7274\/6885949124_253c075424.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" alt=\"hockey 6\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I dropped them off at 3:30, and Sandi kept them busy!

Awesome seats, by the way, lower level and end zone!  Since we had 2 extra tickets, the kids asked their friends Kayla and Ethan P to come.  I promise EP was there, he was just camera shy.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/70803758@N00\/6885948890\/\" title=\"hockey 5 by marleyec1998, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7206\/6885948890_e98437ae2f.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" alt=\"hockey 5\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sandi scored major kid points when she opted to grab Tac*o Bell for dinner.
