Tom's Best Day Ever



We had an awesome day yesterday.
We have been having a lot of fun with Chris and Elizabeth and Adrian, Ellen and Nathan, Tom's brother and his family from Edmonton. They arrived on Monday and we have spent every afternoon and a couple of evenings with them. Yesterday we went to Granville Island and spent a while in the Kid's Market and while we were there Tom had the single best moment of his life.




Yes, we met Ryan Smyth at Granville Island. I saw him first, but didn't have the guts to say anything to him, all I could do was text Elizabeth "Ryan Smyth just walked by me" (How lame is that???) Thankfully she saw him and said, "Ryan?" and then they had a little chat (..... a chat with RYAN SMYTH!!!!!!) and he asked, "So, what brings you to Vancouver?" So she told him all about Noah while someone went to find him and Tom. Tom asked him if he would still sign Edmonton Oilers stuff and he said, "sure, once an Oiler, always an Oiler!" So he signed Noah's Oilers hat.
Nathan, that hat was already Noah's prized possession, but even more so now! Thanks! We may have to get him another one that he can wear so he can save that one.
That was so cool. I have never seen Tom so excited....
