A brief, belated wrap-up from our weekend...
The Spring sports season is coming to a close. We had nice weather and, fortunately, remembered to bring our 'good' camera to the events on Saturday. After all the cellphone photos I've posted of the kids competing, I couldn't resist including a few sharper images from Saturday.
Matthew had his last regular season lacrosse game. There are no playoffs, but the team may play in one or more tournaments in June - so we may not be done yet. Matthew has had a lot of fun playing and would like to play in at least one of the tournaments.
We lost a close one on Saturday (3-2, I think) against a good and very physical team. Things got a little chippy at times on the field and there were some hard hits. Matthew got blindsided by one and quickly found himself on the ground. But he got up quickly and played on. We only had three subs, so Matthew got lots of playing time.

After lacrosse, we headed to the Individual Championship track meet. This is the event where they award individual (and relay team) performances. In 2 weeks they'll have a Team Championship meet where the school with the most points will be crowned the overall winner (just an excuse to have another meet!).
Neither Matthew or Victoria qualified in an individual event, but Victoria's 4x100 relay team barely qualified last weekend. So we had the pleasure of running in the last event of a 5+ hour track meet! Fortunately, we didn't have to stay for the whole thing - although Victoria had to be there to check in at the beginning of the meet.
The girls did great - finishing 5th in a fast field. Victoria ran the 3rd leg.
