My first hockey game! (And a contest.)

K, lets not leave you with some boring and depressing writing news!

Yesterday, me, my dad, and my little brother (My older brother isn't into sports.) went to a hockey game. It was lots of fun, even though our team lost, 3 to 4. It was a really great game. (Made me want to take Hockey lessons.)

I've always been into sports. At camp, All I did in free time was play soccer with the boys and once in a while another girl would join in.
  When we were home schooling with a different school we went to a skating rink. It was split up, one part for free skating, skating lessons, and the boys did hockey at the far end. Last year, I was with the boys, playing hockey till my hearts content. Actually, I was sad when we had to leave.
  I used to think basketball was cool, then a boring gym class ruined it for me, but now I love to play it with the next door neighbors.
  The only sports I don't like are lacrosse, and foot ball. Although in some places they call soccer foot ball. I believe in some places it's pronounced fooze ball, but I'm not really sure.
Any one else into sports?

Speaking of games, has any one heard of these games?

• Pizza
• Ninjas
• Good guys bad guys
• Kick the can
• China wall
• Head Moose

Okay, the third, I know you've never heard of it. Me and my friends made it up. So much fun. Until...never mind.

Good Guys, Bad Guys:

You need: two hula hoops, skipping ropes or rope, small items (Large rocks, small containers, sand shovels, spoons, etc.), 4 or more players, a big field or yard. (We used the whole yard, backyard and front.)

How to play:
- Place one of the hoops on one side of the yard and the other on the other side. Lay the skipping ropes around on of the hoops in a wide circle. Place the small items inside the hula hoop surrounded by skipping ropes.
- Divide into two equal teams, good guys and bad guys. If there is an unequal number, the bad guys get one extra player. (It is easier for the good guys so it's fair, trust me.)
- The good guys pick one certain item before the game starts and they keep it secret form the other team.
- The bad guys have to get into the skipping rope area, without being tagged by the good guys. If they are tagged, they have to go back to their hula hoop and stay there for 60 sec. If they make it, they then take an item  and have to get it back to their hula hoop with out getting tagged.
- Once they get it back, the good guys tell them if it was the item that they picked or not. If they did not get it, then the game goes on. If they did get it, they win.
- The good guys have to try to tag all the players and if they all are having a time out, the good guys win.

This game is REALLY fun whether you have a large or small group.
