Of course, we are part of this
jock culture, so maybe it’s just the company we keep. Either way, with hockey
over, our kids are doing spring sports, and it’s fun going to the events
because it usually involves nice weather and being outdoors... usually being
the key word. A couple of weeks back, we got a little crazy and went to both
events, and though it took a lot of legwork, it was fun.
N had his first lacrosse game down
south, and A had her first track meet across town. Now when I say first, I mean
first one attended, because we missed the first few games/track meets because
of time conflicts with our vacation. Kind of a bummer, but things work out in
the end. For N it was tough because his season is so short, missing two games,
the first two no less, meant missing nearly half the season. To his credit, he
handled it well, and didn’t complain at all. A missed her first three track
meets, and she was a little more vocal in her discontent, not that I blame her.
That, too, worked out because one of the meets was cancelled because of
weather, and I’m not even sure if they attended another.
Either way, we finally made it to
each, and it meant driving an hour down south to watch N’s game, which they
dominated, then driving back to town, getting mom, then driving across town to
the big city to watch A’s track meet. It was fun, and the timing was good because
right after A’s second event, the relay, it started pouring rain. I’m talking
serious downpour. Good thing we were allowed to leave.
It was a busy weekend, but loads
of fun, as usual, and that makes it all okay. Until the next time, thanks for
reading.
