Lacrosse

I signed Danny up for a K-2nd grade Lacrosse team. He is actually very excited about it. Chris took him today to get fitted for his stick and pads. The guys in the lacrosse shop showed Danny how to hold the stick and cradle. He still needs a helmet, but the worker mentioned needing a needle to fit the helmet (pump up the padding?) and he freaked out. He thought they were going to give him a shot. We figure we will revisit the helmet later. He starts practice mid February. In the meantime we are going to work on catching the ball- not easy!I submitted this picture of Reagan to the Regis and Kelly beautiful baby contest. Let's face it- she is a pretty baby.

The Indianapolis Children's Museum has a Star Wars exhibit that is getting ready to go to another location. We went this weekend so that Danny could see it. It was pretty weak, but Danny enjoyed it. Here, he is standing next to Jango Fett's helmet. They also had a few of the costumes on display- Anakin, Padme Amidalla and Mace Windu. Other than that, it was some character cut-outs. Danny is also very into mummy's right now. We thought the Egypt exhibit would have some, but they did not. The kids liked the play market place and maps though.
One of the displays that I like the most is a colored glass tower- below is a carousel that we are sitting on looking up at the spinning colors.
We bought Danny a picture atlas. Here he is showing Kona everywhere we traveled over the Christmas holiday? Kona is rivited!
