Fairfax Gallants

I can go back and look at the calender ...review and take notes...mostly lacrosse!  Although football played a small roll when we watched the Patriots and Seahawks battle it out for the Superbowl.  Basketball played a part too.  Isaac spends hours shooting and going out on weekends playing with friends.  Tennis Anyone?  Scott's got a weekly game on Sunday with a friend.  Rollerblading?  Chloe bought new ones for herself and goes out as much as possible ...occasionally wearing them in the house!  Also the walking shoes have seen many miles this month between Scott and myself.  

We had our 'FLORIDA WINTER' it lasted about 2 days or so.  Hahahaha  We did have some cool days here not compared to up North and West Coast, but for us lower 50's is chilly.  The dogs love the spot in the kitchen where the light comes in through the window and they can get nice and toasty!

Isaac rolled his ankle walking in the locker room ... floor was slippery.  Spent a few days on crutches missing a 'fun' game of lacrosse (and weekend of Basketball).  Our high school boys were divided up and played against each other for fun.  Isaac made use of himself instead of playing goalie he stayed up in the box and kept score.  Below him and his best friend.

It's game day!  Lake Mary was gonna be tough!  We have a bunch of new very green players and they did pretty good.  Scott and I were asked last minute to keep score up in the box (we were very new green players at this too).  Loved watching Isaac for the first time play in his High School Stadium. 

Nice View from the Box ...sun maybe shining, but it was chilly!

This game started off bad from the start... the bus was late getting the boys to the game.  They showed up after they should have played over half the game already.  We didn't have dark jerseys (that's what the visiting teams supposed to wear) ...kinda a mess to start.  Scott and I were asked by this school to keep score up in the box (usually the home school does this), but we were happy to help.  Since we our team ran late they gave us less time to play the game.  We got 30 minutes running clock... we lost by 1 goal.

Kids got chocolate chip heart pancakes and some goodies!  

We get to sit with the rest of the folks for this game in the stands trying to keep warm!  This game was a lot of fun to watch.  The boys are finally getting control and knowing each other a bit better.  It was a great game.  Nice to get a win under their belts!

Chloe played in 2 games she scored 6 goals (one left handed).  

With a long drive out to Merritt Island it was sure nice to have beautiful weather and watch my boy play lacrosse.   Scott was back in Oviedo coaching the girls this Monday night since it was such a long hike and he will be missing Fridays practice this week.  We've teamed up with another family to officially be in charge of the score board and announcements at the JV home games.  We need Scott there!  

The boys played a great game with the refs blowing the whistle every couple minutes.  It was great to get our 2nd win!  

Our rivals!  Great fun to watch these boys play together since they have grown up playing club ball for years together.  Isaac loving getting physical with his 'friends' and also his 'friends' wanting to score on Isaac.  His buddy after a few attempts finally got one past Isaac and I've never seen that kid so happy...ha ha ha.  Isaac on the other hand not happy.  What a exciting evening of lacrosse!  It got down the last 22 seconds and the Oviedo team had the ball..running down and missed a pass.  That buzzer went off and our Hagerty Huskies jumped for JOY!

Well this game was interesting... we were loosing 0-4 then came back to tie it.  Seems like they finally got a handle of the ball.  In the end though we did not come out victorious.
