Traveling for Travel League Teams

My daughter was invited to be a guest player on a local travel lacrosse team.

We had a blast!! The tournament was at HARVARD UNIVERSITY… in Boston, Massachusetts.

She played GREAT competition, made new friends, had awesome coaching and got to visit Boston! It was a win, win weekend.

Have you ever “traveled” to play with your team/sport?

Happy Camper

Just picked up my son from a one week overnight camp, in the Adirondack’s. The camp was all about the environment, nature and the great outdoors. His favorite part was canoeing several lakes and then sleeping overnight on one of the islands. Since he has been back, I’ve learned some games from his camp too. Can’t wait until we play “Salmon Run”!!

Did you attend any camps this summer?

What was your favorite activity?

I AM a Warrior!

Can you see me??? I am one of the hundreds of thrill and exercise seekers at the

West Mountain WARRIOR RUN!!

Highlights from my race…

met up with past students from Pashley, now young adults, still making exercise a priority!!
completed every obstacle, as they were much easier than I expected…phew!
Ran with Coach Vrooman and Coach Ball…BH-BL Field Hockey Coaches and Hall of Fame-rs 🙂
Had the best day, especially with the view from the top of West Mountain…although it sure did take a while for me to get to the top.
and for the 5th graders….I did not let my crushed finger keep me from competing!!

Does this Warrior Race look fun to you?
