Lacrosse Season

Penelope's friend asked her to join the lacrosse team with her and because she did not like her first day of track she decided to give it a try.

She ended up loving it so much.  She said it might be even better than soccer.

As a parent it was more difficult because the practices were not at her school and she needed rides to and from practice everyday.  The school did not provide busses for games either.  But thankfully she had two friends who's parents we willing to carpool.  There is no way I could have done it on my own.

Her team was a high school varsity team but it was made up of girls from all three high schools in our district.  The girls they played against usually had much more experience.  Penelope's team had several girls who were just learning.

The best part about it was how nice and supportive all the girls were.  That and the epic goal Penelope made on the very last game.  It was her first goal and all the girls ran and hugged her.  She said her friend even started crying because it was so exciting.
