Okay, as some of you may know, my oldest son has taken up a new sport... Lacrosse! I have to say I wasn't sure about it at first; mainly because it is the one sport that I honestly know very little about. But he absolutley LOVES it so I've tried to learn a little bit more about it now that he is a part of the Mill Creek Lacrosse League. This week-end they had their first game and I have to admit it.... I'm hooked! What an exciting game to watch! I had no idea! It's quite physical (a little too physical at times which landed a few guys in the penalty box) and the action is non-stop. I thought Reed did very well for his game. He did the face-offs for his team and won most of those. His team won 8-0. (Thankfully we have one kid who has played for about 8 years and is quite good.) Most of the kids are new to the sport since this is Mill Creek's inaugural season and most of the parents are definitely new to the game. The conversations in the stand are quite amusing as we all try to figure out what's going on. We all assume that as long as the ref isn't blowing his whistle or throwing a flag, the boys are doing well. So most of us watched the refs and their reactions as much as our players!
Anyway, I thought I'd include a few pictures of my new Lacrosse player. Apparently we didn't have enough sports going on in this family....
