Wizard's Lacrosse!

After much consideration, Blake decided to give Lacrosse a try this Spring!!  He was going to play soccer and then thought about playing baseball and then finally decided on lacrosse!  Cal and I are happy he is trying something new.  I firmly believe in trying new sports and activities while they're young!  I don't want my kids to just stick to the same 2 sports and miss out on possibly falling in love with something else!  Plus, I mentioned to Blake that he plays soccer at school nearly every recess and Cal and I love playing baseball, so we can do that this summer, too!!  Blake's first weekend of lacrosse was evaluations, so he practiced on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (20, 21, 22)!  Monday evening they formed the teams.  He missed his first team practice due to his hockey wind up party but made the next one and soon we will get our regular season game schedule!  So far Blake is enjoying it but as I said to Cal, I'm pretty sure he'd love any sport he tried :)  He's the tallest on his team and his coach told him at the last practice that he should practice cradling the ball, as he will definitely have an advantage due to his size!  I also told him he needs to be a bit more aggressive ... lol.  He's like a gentle giant!!  Too used to taking it easy on his sisters!  Which isn't a bad thing :)

First day of lacrosse!
