2016 Massachusetts Trip #2, Part 4

Week 3 of 4-on-4 was on Thursday, and it's still a horror show. Two kids out of 8 still absent, and two losses of 3-1 and 6-3. So if my math is correct, they've been outscored 33-8 this season. Not fun, and even at the end of it, Lucas said, "This is getting embarrassing." I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be a reshuffling of the teams soon, but I still have no plans to ever do 4-on-4 again since I've heard similar stories from parents in other divisions. 

On a higher hockey note, Lucas participated in a separate 4-on-4/drill session this morning. It's organized by one of the parents from the IP team he played on 2 years ago. He rents ice almost every week during the off-season so that the kids get a little extra ice time. We were a bit nervous about it since the roster for this week was primarily kids who played Novice A and competitive (Lucas was Novice B), but he went out there and hung with them pretty well. Don't get me wrong, he was not one of the highlights, but he definitely didn't look like he didn't belong. So we were happy, and I think it gave him a little boost of confidence that might have worn away from the other 4-on-4 debacle.

It's been a few posts since the vacation pictures so I'll continue that here today. I don't have too much to add since they are mostly random photos (and a few from our trip to mini golf) that speak for themselves so enjoy!

Last but not least, Lucas's baseball team meets together for the first time tomorrow. It'll be 1/2 meet the team and 1/2 first practice. It should be fun, and it'll be nice to have sports photos not involving hockey skates for once.
