Surf City--Conquered

Oh.  I sat under a tree in the shade all day in a long sleeved shirt and long pants and forgot to put sunscreen on my chest since my shirt was V-necked and I am paying big time.  It is so sunburned.

Duff went to the stake service project--Helping Hands--down in the canyon and helped the fire department clear brush and dead, burned debris from the fires a couple of years ago as prevention for this year's fire season.  And I went to the lacrosse tourney.

And the good news is: THEY WON THE WHOLE DANG THING!!! Yup. 1st Place. Out of 13 teams.  They get medals and special sweatshirts from the tournament.  It was based on a point system.  I think the highlight is that they beat Los Al who has deep pockets and well established athletic programs for eons.  They are not used to losing.  I think the girls were better sports than their parents.  Christine came running off the field after the horn sounded right to our arms yelling:  We beat Lost Al!! We beat Los Al!!! Can you believe it?!?!?!  She played one of the games of her life so far.  She is the only goalie for her team so she plays each game the entire time. 

We got home around 3pm, just in time to head to Costco with Mike and Adrianne to get ready for Mother's Day tomorrow.  Since we don't exactly live close to one, it is an event to go. And now I'm more tired than I was yesterday.  Good thing Duff and the kids have the day covered, because I'm going to r e s t.
