Teaspoon’s first trip to the Mellon Arena

Unfortunately Teaspoon will never see a Pens game at the Mellon Arena, since this the last season before moving to the Consol Energy Arena across the street, so I was psyched to get him down there for season ticket holder family picture night.
Teaspoon was in awe. First it was the lights and banners, then it was the ice when I gave him his first skate and finally going in between the pipes like daddy used to. The real test came when he sat down for a chat with Iceburgh. In his mind he was probably thinking “whoa a big toy”!
The night was incredible and some of these pictures will be used for our first family Christmas card. I’m glad that the Pens have given us this chance to hang out at the arena on a non-game day. I know he won’t remember any of this and someday when he’s looking back in the archives of this site he can see the proof that he was there.
I’m looking forward to the day when I can share more hockey with my boy.
I think that’s why I enjoyed the C. Wolf thing… making kids smile was awesome. Teaspoon rocks.
he was so happy. I wish i had better ways to capture his excitement without missing out on it myself.
What a beautiful family!
I love the pictures!
the monkey loves the ice. I cant wait till i can get him on skates
