While we couldn't participate in Triangle Curling Club's Carolina Classic bonspiel, we did have a lot of fun helping out behind the scenes beforehand (and before the arrival of our new little curler). Luckily, everyone was feeling well enough that our little family was able to make its first public appearance at the bonspiel dinner. Little did we know that it was our friend, Hal's, 76th birthday! Hal helped form the Triangle Curling Club, and as a surprise the club brought out a birthday cake to honor him as our oldest curler! But the club surprised us to, making a special welcome to the club's newest curler -- Ben!
The bonspiel's theme was "back to college," so Mae is dressed in her FSU Cheerleading outfit for her big sister, and Connor is dressed in his Ohio State garb.
But Ben wasn't the only kid in the room for dinner. Mae and Connor were there to have a blast! Connor is the son of a Triangle curling couple that we are friends with, and somebody Mae just adores! She wanted to follow him everywhere he went! And he just wanted to hug her and tug at her curls.
We had a great time seeing our curling friends, old and new! Many of our curling pals came from Chesapeake, Potomac, Cape Cod, Plainfield and Nutmeg to participate in Triangle's first bonspiel (but really, we know they just came to see Ben!) We just wish we could've spent more time with everyone! We miss you, and hope we'll see you again soon... on or off the ice!
