LAX

We have lax fever in this house!  For those that don't know what I am talking about, lax is short for lacrosse.  Up until a year ago, I would have though LA airport...ha!.  It's a  fast growing sport here and a fun one at that.  I knew nothing, zilch, zero, nada about the sport a year ago. And although I know more than I did, I'm still pretty illiterate about it still.  However,  I can tell you that Landon plays middie and he is pretty good at it... :)








This year his team was undefeated and made it to the state championship game!










Being on a winning team is a lot of fun!!  :)  That was a nice change of pace after being on a slew of different teams that were not winning and our coaches were awesome!!









During the middle of the regular season, Landon was asked to tryout for Bamalax.  We didn't know much about it, but thought it would be fun for Landon to at least try out.  During the regular season he played U9, meaning all of the players were 9 or under.  Bamalax starts at U11 meaning players are 11 or under by a certain date.  So, we gave it a go and let him try out.  I prepped him a little to make sure he knew what he was getting into.  The boys were older and a lot of them were quite a bit bigger than Landon, but he held his own and made the team!!







We are so proud of him!  He is one of the smallest on the team and is the youngest by a year, some of the boys are already 12!  But he is doing great, learning a lot, and has already been a starter in a tournament game.  So now we have another 3 months of lacrosse on the books!  :)    He loves the game and the game loves him and I have a feeling this is just the beginning!
