Box Lacrosse Tournament

Over the summer Jack tried out for and made the Junior Swarm Box Lacrosse team. They had one tournament at the end of August up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Since I had been to Toronto several years ago for a business trip I opted to stay home with the little ones and let Jason take Jack alone. After a summer of dragging them all over the place for Jack's field lacrosse tournaments we didn't think it fair to take them again (plus school was already in session).

Anyway, here are the photos Jason took of the tournament and their free time. The top one is in the locker room getting ready.

Jack has the orange helmut.

Look at all the padding the goalies wear!?!

After the first day they took some time to check out the area.

Jack having fun being Jack.

Then back at it the next day.

After meeting the two best teams of the tournament on the first day (losing to both, 10-11 and 5-8) they went undefeated the second day in all three games.

They won their final game coming in 1st for their bracket and 5th place overall.

They had all afternoon Sunday to explore so they headed out to Niagara Falls and took the boat tour to the falls.

Then they had all day Monday to explore downtown Toronto. So up the CN Tower they went.

Meanwhile back in Georgia....

Wyatt had his own lacrosse practice and then we stopped for some fun at the park.

My little monkey!

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring. We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking. See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top. Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys. Photos of the boys up top. Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...

Summer is Lacrosse

This summer was especially busy for us as Jack played on TWO travel lacrosse teams and Wyatt played his first year on one. We only had one weekend where Jason and Wyatt headed off to Nashville, TN while Jack, Ethan and I stayed here for each of their tournaments. This was Wyatt's oh-so-happy-to-get-his-photo-taken face before they headed out to Nashville. I just loved the shirt!! This was the set up we had for Jack's tournament in town. Ethan was happy as a clam with shade and his iPad!! Jack had a phenomenal first tournament and was directly responsible for almost all the teams goals. He looked awesome and he joked it was because his annoying youngest brother wasn't around. Boys! Just a few shots of Jack playing. Summer also means supporting our local professional field lacrosse team, The Atlanta Blaze. Jack and his buddy Zac had the privilege of working with the team's head coach through the local youth Thund...
