This was nearly a perfect day.. I woke late.. nothing pressing to do. Gabe had his Lacrosse state All Star game this morning. We had to be there at 10 for a noon game.. That gave the kids time to meet their teammates and practice a bit. The kids were split into North and South.. Gabe was on the North team.. There aren’t’ that many teams from the South so some Northern towns like Shelbourne were playing for the South. it’s funny to think of Shelboune as ‘south’ Diane and I took advantage of the practice time to take a nice 3 mile run .. and a visit to the Famers Market… We got back to the field and learned that everything was running about 30 minutes late. that was lucky because
Max got there in time to see the start of the game.. Here he is trying to fake the pad luck that gabe has,, we think he looks like he has an Alien inside.

While we were walking in Shelbourne we ran in to our friends Jay and Michelle. We spotted Jay becaus eof his range am shirt.

The game was absolutely amazing.. All of the kids were good.. so all passes connected. nearly all goal shots went in.. it was so exciting.. Gabe had a great game as did all the kids on both teams .

The game was fast and active.. it seemed like it flew by. The North team won soemthign like 12 to 6. Gabe had a great goal and a few good assists. he had a blast..
Both teams looked really good.

Here’s the south team

Here are the norths (Gabe’s team)

There was great sportsmanship all around

Here’s both teams.

Afterwords, the North coach gave out some awards… Gabe got the the most interesting character and best hair awards.. It was another all star shirt… which he gave to me !!!

We got home around 2L30 to find Max and friends preparing for Scott’s Bachelor party tonight.. It wasn’t the kind of bachelors party I remember.. this one involved making two full sized zombies with wooden skeletons.. packed with balloons that were filled with fake blood.

And a clay head filled with fake blood and oatmeal. Ewwwwww

The idea is to hand scott a bunch of weird weapons and let him go after the zombies as a celebration of his impending marriage… weird I know but sweet… and a little less yucky than the normal bachelor party fair..

I decided to contribute by making Scott a set of claws like I’d made for Chris.> These came out very nicely.. I sharpened them until they were really .. well.. dangerous.. A perfect wedding gift.

Max is at the bachelors party now.. Dines at a show with Gina, Gabe and his friends are upstairs and deb just walked in. I think I need to make the kids some dinner.. after all its’ nearly midnight.. 🙂 …

Talk to you tomorrow ! GNite all.. Gnite Sam
