New sport - Lacrosse and Parkour


We bought some lacrosse sticks for the boys a couple of weekends ago.  Maybe they might enjoy it? After a little while, Graham and Charlie were actually able to throw it but obviously catching was a bit tricky:
Nice form, Daddy!
But after a little while, the boys side tracked:
And side-tracked:
And side-tracked... Graham is getting really strong! 
Charlie is not quite there yet but definitely better than before:
We also started the boys in a new thing called Parkour.  Well, we haven't signed them up yet officially.  This was a test class and 2 minutes into it, they were already loving it!  They were working on their handstands and also going around an obstacle course:
Monkey bars in the back and learning to balance:
A sloping wall - Graham had no issues getting up there:
And even Charlie got up there on his first day.  Proud Momma moment!
Coming down was a bit tricky.  Graham took a while but after a few big breathes, he finally jumped down. So proud of him!
Charlie needed help getting down the first time and he opted for the stairs towards the back/wall instead.  Still an accomplishment for him as he didn't need any help after that.  He didn't have any issues jumping down from this wall:
Wheeeeee...!!! Graham LOVED this swinging rope!
A fun day for the boys.  Wow, looks like we just up-ed our game from just climbing trees after school.  Hmm... but the trees were FREE!!!  Oh well, maybe one or both of them will become our next Ninja Warrior!!! :-D
