Lacrosse Clinic

Last Friday we took the kids and Myles' friend, Paige, to the National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) Lacrosse Clinic. NSCD teamed up with the Denver Outlaws (professional outdoor lacrosse team) and held a two hour clinic at Sports Authority Field. It was so fun! Our kids had not played lacrosse before, but they actually all picked up on the skills pretty quickly, worked hard, and had good attitudes.

Oh Ryker...he had some funny moments that afternoon like he does pretty much everyday. At 3-years-old he is very up and down with his emotions as he is testing his independence while still just a little boy. A few things he said that day:
- After having a tough time throwing the ball the way he wanted to, "This is useless, I am getting tireder and tireder!"
- While standing in the (hot) sun, "My leg is melting!" {And then he proceeded to slither down to the ground, which is the most appropriate thing to do with a melted leg, obviously.}
- When taking shots on goal, "Fire in the hole!"
- After walking from the shade into the sun, "How did I get in the hot again?"

This is not the best picture of Myles, but we were excited to have his school friend, Paige come with us. Paige and Myles have been in the same class for two years, and have a very sweet relationship.

After the clinic our family went out for pizza at a small neighborhood restaurant in Denver. It was a great Friday night!
