Lessons Learned from Playing in the Rain

A dedicated group of parents sat in the rain for the past two days as we watched our sons play lacrosse.   One lacrosse mom asked her husband if they'd be watching the game if we were back in Houston, rather than on a road trip.  He answered that when the guys are playing, he'll be there.  This sentiment is widely shared by this devoted parent group.  How I wish every child had parent advocates like these!

A few things from this weekend that we could add to the lacrosse manual:
  • It's amazing how quickly fashion takes a backseat to function and practicality when the skies open.
  • Ideal conditions aren't required when we're supporting those we love.
  • Fond memories are made when friends are together.
  • Unless there's lightning, the game will go on.
  • The beautiful rainbow is a reward for time spent in the rain.
