Mercer Island high school lacrosse state champs!

Last week the Bernal's were awesome enough to invite me to Connor's State Championship lacrosse game at Memorial Field at the Seattle Center. I had only ever been to one lacrosse game ever, but I'm becoming a fan. It is so brutal.
It was pretty funny to be there with Bernal's, because they are very loud, intense Colombians. All the other parents look to Fernando and Rosi to get the crowd hoppin :) The stadium was PACKED. (But just on one side. Don't make fun of my empty-stadium pics).
The game was between Mercer Island and Bainbridge Island - HUGE rivals. Connor is the team captain (has been since sophomore year, crazy kid) and has lost the past 3 championship games to Bainbridge by 1 or 2 points.
This game was pretty nerve racking.
BUT THEY WON!!!! 5-3!
After the game, Garret was talking to his sister:
"Did you enjoy that game?"
"NOT AT ALL."
"Me either."
And I believe them. They were freaking out the entire time. I have never seen Garret so close to bursting at the seams. Pretty sure the whole family walked out of that stadium with brand spankin new hernias.
Cute brothers :)
In other news... We are thinking about letting Garret adopt Jake, since they are lovers and never wish to be separated.
