It was about 2;0 before I finally got to bed last night. after picking up Max and getting him home..  We were very gld ot have him back.. dane even decorated a cake !

 

 Luckily I managed to sleep until about 9 30.. We were all pretty lazy, so we all just hung out until about 11 when it was time to head to Milton for Gabe’s first Lacrosse game of the season.. Actually.. the first Lacrosse game of his life. Scott decided to come with us… so Diane, Scott, Chain and I piled in the car and drove up to Milton. I remember this Milton field mostly because of some very wet and cold times that we came here to watch Sam play…   Today, however,  was a sparklingly beautiful day.. a little cool and windy.. but perfect for being outside.  We tossed down our blanket. Bundled ourselves up against the wind and watch Gabe start his Lacrosse career. 

 At one point I must of fell asleep.. because I woke up to find  the team.  ,the fans, Diane Scott and Chai all gone. The first game was over.. and everyone .. but me.. had moved to the next field

 I’m not a sports guy.. but I’ve learned to really like Lacrosse.. it’s very fast paced and they seem to make new rules all the time to keep it interesting.. that’s all I need to keep me interested  (my nap experience not withstanding) Gabe … and the team.. really did a good job today..   

 

    Scott borrowed my camera and managed to get some good action shots of the team.. Here’s a good one he took of Gabe.. Scott also showed me two new features on my camera which allow you to swap and manipulate colors.  You, fair reader, will have to tolerate me playing with these features for a few days until the novelty wears off;

  

    After Lacrosse, we headed home (by way of Juniors Pizza.. Yum !). and hung out at home for a few hours.. We used the time to straighten up the house a little for tonight’s post-prom party and fool with the camera some more…

 

Around 7 we all headed over to Max’s girlfriend, Jessie’s, house to send the off to the prom The Chaces had picked u Sushi and the three couples ate raw fish while the adults all hung in the kitchen and took pictures of them. It was great.. They all looked great…  

 

We left Jessie’s around 8:30ish and headed back to Richmond We stopped at Carol and Mike’s  on the way .   Mike was throwing  a big Cinco del Mayo party for Carol  who’s turning 40 on Wed. There were lots of our Richmond friends there.. We saw some people we hadn’t seen in years. it was really quite a cool party.

 

We got home around 11:3in time to meet the first post-prom party goers.. By about 12:30 our house was full of people again. It’s so cure watching the kids come in to the house wearing fancy dresses and tuxes.. and then seeing them transforming themselves back into their grunge casual in less than 30 seconds each.. It’s like a reverse butterfly process…  Right now.. about 20 of them are downstairs singing show tunes really loudly. It’s going to be a long, fun night..

Sam join in whenever you’d like !
