LAX

Not the airport.... The game.... Lacrosse or LAX.

Isaac wanted to try lacrosse.  He had heard some of the kids at the ice rink talking about it.  So I looked them up online, emailed, and found out there is not a league here for his age.  But, they do get together every weekend to play.  So now we need the equipment.  The helmet, shoulder pads, gloves, etc. can cross over from hockey.  But the stick...!!??  I didn't have the free funds to drop $30-$50 for a cheap stick, so Isaac got to rolling.  He called Butch and asked if he could sell cookies again.  Then made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies, did the math himself.  AND, because it was St. Patrick's Day he colored the dough green.  Called them Leprechaun Cookies.  He sold six dozen, close enough that I could help him get a stick.  And off we went to practice.  
They both loved it.  Lexy only played catch with a girl from the ice rink who had been practicing with the girls group.  Now she kind of wants to play.
 Isaac loved the physical nature of the game.  Here he is digging into the group after the ball.
 I don't know how I happened to get these pictures.  Here he is with a clean hit on a kid about the same size as him.
 Then Isaac looking over the damage to see if the kid is alright...
He is way into the LAX now...  Here is a quick video of him digging the ball out of the pile and running it down for a shot.

  1. Wow! That is very cool. They have a group that playa around here and the high school has a club too. We are getting stuff together for Chase to start hockey in September. Should be interesting. :) good job to Isaac for his ingenuity and work to get his stick.!
