Lacrosse!

We went to Lakeland, Florida (about 2 hours away) to see our friends' son play lacrosse at Florida Southern College.  I've never seen a lacrosse game before and WOW! what a fast, exciting and crazy game! 

Great idea -- give the boys sticks and let them
beat the crap out of each other while we cheer!

John and Maria have three sons and they all play lacrosse, so the younger two boys sat behind me and explained the rules of the game.  It seems you can hit each other randomly with the sticks and throw this super-hard rubber ball at about 100 miles per hour.  It's just the wildest game ever.

It was Senior Night at the game.  Chase is a senior and this was his last home regular-season game.

And they WON!

Joe and Maria happy with the win!

We all went out for a big celebratory dinner afterward.  It was all so fun!
