Last February, when I got my bonus, I told Timm, I would really like to send the guys to LAX camp at BYU. Not that BYU has a stellar team (they are a club team - although I did just learn they are ranked 2 in their league), but I just wanted them to have that experience. So we talked with the Gregoires, and Michael decided to go. He in turn talked to Brian Duncan (who isn't LDS but decided it would be fun to go too) and on July 18th, We checked them in and dropped them off at the dorms.
Trev REALLY wanted to go, but I decided 12 was too young to stay in the dorms (and I couldn't afford 3x the tuition - I couldn't really even afford 2, but we made it happen.)
They were there Mon-thurs. I got a few whiny texts during the week - they worked them hard which was good. And there were a couple of injuries - Tay needs to learn how to absorb a hit or these knocks to the head are going to do permanent damage. But they love it and had a great time playing the sport they really are growing to love.
on Thursday, they had a scrimmage tournament. My mom, Emilee, Scott, Denice, Kyler, Tyrus, Tenley, Taesyn and eventually my Dad and I went to watch. We missed much of the games, but we got to see Tanner a bit.
Taylor and Tanner seemed very very excited that a full Entourage had come to support them. And we all got $1 BYU lacrosse shirts (that say camp 2009 - but who cares!). Here are some pictures of the fun time.
Here is Tanner scrimmaging

Hopefully next year they will get to go back. Stronger, wiser and more skillful, and with a little brother along for the ride.
