Some of the men in our church have been running the Bon Hom Lacrosse League for a few years, a summer program that helps get boys started early in this (fantastic) game. This last Saturday was grandson Rory’s first game ever. He is the one on the right, with gold striping on his shorts. As you can see from number 1 in the middle there, some of the boys have to be careful not to let the bottom of their helmet bump on the ground as they run.
Grandson Seamus, as displayed in the second photo, was upset for the entire game, not comprehending why he was not allowed out on the field. When the final whistle blew and the boys put their sticks down, Seamus went out, searched through the pile, found his brother’s stick, and happily took off.
