Spring Sports

We fluctuate between basketball and street hockey in the driveway.  The boys are loving the basketball hoop from Mimi last Christmas.

Snow in April....it happens every year.  Let's just get it over with already!

The snow has melted for the most part in Minnesota (even though we actually have a potential snow storm in the forecast this week).  It is wet and mushy outside, but we are still gearing up for spring sports!  Luke and Liam are going to try lacrosse for the first time this spring.  They had tryouts this week and really enjoyed it.  This is a new sport for all of us so we have A LOT to learn.  Luke and Liam both enjoyed tryouts and said they learned quite a bit about the game in the process (quite a difference from hockey tryouts when there is typically a lot more on the line!).  We purchased all the gear they needed and should find out their team this week.

Aiden is doing soccer this spring.  He has a group of hockey buddies that he will be playing with and thankfully the schedule is planned around all the spring hockey practices and tournaments so he should be able to make most of it.  His practices will begin this week with games starting in May so I don't have pictures yet.  Aiden was quite good at soccer last summer and even held his own against kids that were Luke and Liam's age so it will be fun to watch him this spring in a more competitive league.

We have all enjoyed the longer days and some time outside.  It has still been chilly, but we have had a few warm days here and there which makes us all look forward to summer!
