SU Basketball

Mr. Spurchise let Tim and me sit in his season ticket seats at an SU Basketball game. This was my first time at the Carrier Dome. I can't wait to go to a game during the SU semester so student fans and the band will be there too! What a fun way to start off our New Year's Eve celebrations.

What great seats!

Look how close we were!

Syracuse won

Lights on the Lake

Lights on the Lake has been hosted in Onondaga Park by Wegman's for 23 years. For two miles, different themes are created with amazing lights. This event is open from November to January. If you like holiday lights, you will love Lights on the Lake. Tim treated me to this wonderful experience this past Sunday night. It was wonderful. I didn't t take photos of everything because I wanted to take it all in, so I mostly took photos of the different archways that began each theme of lights.

A "school" of fish 

Santa's workshop was full of elves making gifts, Santa and Mrs. Claus,
reindeer, etc.

moving lights, my camera caught two segments of the movement.

Entrance to the "Land of Oz"

Amazing castle arch

Ice Skating Surprise!

Tim surprised me with outdoor ice skating in Clinton Square! I love to ice skate but I had never skated outside before this.

Syracuse Cruuuunch!

The Crunch lost in overtime :/

I attended my first Syracuse Crunch hockey game (second ever hockey game) on Saturday, Dec. 29 with Tim and his family. I had a great time. We had good seats and it was nice to see the War Memorial. Game food is always a fun treat too. :)
