Singing the National Anthem

 Zach and Katie's schools got the chance to go to our local AHL game to sing the National Anthem.

 Zach went and sang last year so it was exciting that Katie could join him this year.  It was a snowy day but we made it to the Sharks game and we all went in to wait with the kids until they went to warm up.

  Grandma and Grandpa Shattuck came along with us and we were so happy that they wanted to share in this special time with us. We went and  found our seats which were really good.  We were near center ice and only 4 rows back.  Aaron had fun watching they men get the ice ready for the game and loved seeing the Zamboni going around the rink.

 We got some snacks and took our seats to wait for the kids to come out and sing.

 The kids stood with their own schools so Zach and Katie were not together but they were both in the front row so we got a couple pictures of each of them. Zach is just to the left of the teacher.

 Katie is to the left of the girl in the white sweater with the black shirt.  They did a good job and I was proud of them to get up in front of so many people and sing.  They learned all of the word to 2 other songs along with the National Anthem.

When they were done the kids came and we all sat together and our area was full of the family's from our schools so they had lots of friends around.  Katie and Aaron has friends with extra seats in the front row so they spent most of the game sitting there waiting for the players to smash into the wall in front of them (which happened a couple times and they all jumped).  It was a good game and the Sharks won so that made it even better.  It was a fun time spent together and that's what we love the most.

The link below is to a video of the kids singing if you would like to watch.
