So far we've competed in two out of three lacrosse tournaments this summer and they have been so much fun. Our first was the Mayla Tournament following our regular lacrosse season. We played a total of four games and ended with two wins, a tie and one loss.
It's hard to see Jack (#12) but he was playing in his favorite position - attack - and the one that's proven to be the best one for him.
One of the best things about the tournaments has been the team bonding between the games. We've set up tents to keep the boys (and families) cool and to let them hang out together eating, playing games and chatting.

Wyatt has really loved playing with all the younger brothers and sisters.
This was after our last game on Mother's Day. The coaches brought carnations for all the mom's so their last group chant was to the moms.
Our last tournament was much tougher, as we mostly played travel teams that have tryouts and pull from a big group of schools. We are just a rec team but we held our own - even in our losses we didn't go down without a fight. Right now it's more about the experience than just winning. With two summer tournaments we get a full season's worth of playing time back to back.
This is Wyatt outside the high school stadium we played at.
Poor Wyatt wasn't feeling well that weekend. You know it's rough when you fall asleep on a hard bleacher in the heat of an Atlanta May day.
This was the closest I could get to a picture of Jack playing.
We ended up with three losses and one win, but, again, we played really tough teams and we held our own.
