Actually, I'm pretty sure they don't call them goal posts because this isn't football. But the perimeter of the goal (?) was painted pink.<br /><br />Betsy-Along with the Crown Royal, please bring an umbrella. (I didn't have one of those either.)<br /><br />DJ-As good as Bridget is in her other sports, there's no doubt in my mind she'd excel at lacrosse. RE the away games, it helps to keep a jacket and blanket in the back of the car. I had some stashed in mine from...soccer season a year ago because I don't clean my car out that often. Thank goodness.<br /><br />Mrs. F. - Netball sounds like it could be a close cousin to Guinea Ball (gill nets, crab nets, etc.). Fascinating that lacrosse was compulsory. I'd never heard of it before I went to college and had never seen it played by middle school students until recently.<br /><br />DE-An igloo would have been warmer than where I was sitting on Saturday!<br /><br />Winds. - They tied two games, won one and lost one. I've never been to a tournament where there was no overall winner declared, but whatever. There was no winner. Also, they didn't care about the tie games, there was no shoot out or overtime or WHATEVER they call it in lacrosse. Strange, although to stay on schedule and prevent us from being there until Sunday morning, I suppose there were very legitimate reasons to not deal with the ties.<br /><br />JP-Thank you, and indeed I was shivering. I howled with laughter at the Guinea Bowl comment. And you're 100% correct in your description of CBD, thank you. When are you going to make some crab pots so I can take pictures of that process?<br /><br />Rodney, if I could get away with *never* having to put a pair of socks or shoes on again, ever, I'd be thrilled. You're lucky to be able to wear shorts year 'round. My work wouldn't take too kindly if I showed up in shorts, but rest assured if I could get away with it I would.<br /><br />CG-Thank you!Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-61079159469209461422012-04-30T18:50:53.137-04:002012-04-30T18:50:53.137-04:00You is fierce.

And played outside. In the rain.). Lacrosse was played all winter, with field hockey (not, obviously, simultaneously). This being the north of England, the one thing I could count on was being perpetually wet, cold, and covered in mud. I'm surprised we didn't get trench-foot, or something.<br /><br />I'm so happy CBDaughter likes to play though...I don't know why, as it is singularly useless in later life...but it IS fun!Mrs F with 4https://www.blogger.com/profile/02251591675774310188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-90222586007610561052012-04-30T07:49:59.375-04:002012-04-30T07:49:59.375-04:00I love lacrosse and wish it was offered at Midge&#...I love lacrosse and wish it was offered at Midge's school because I think she would be great at it. I tend to always forget to dress for games, mostly the away ones where there's no hope of running home real quick to get socks and shoes, or a blanket. Luckily tonight's game is later and I'll have time to get out the sleeping bag to take along (I'm sick of sitting in the cold damp air)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541283009059071005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-4824619689573390622012-04-30T07:15:23.973-04:002012-04-30T07:15:23.973-04:00Note to self: Take Crown Royal to Lacrosse games. ...Note to self: Take Crown Royal to Lacrosse games.
