NLL All-Star Weekend

This weekend was the national lacrosse league all star weekend in Denver and as most of you know, we are HUGE Mammoth lacrosse fans!!! We spent Friday night down at the Pepsi center for the all-star skills challenge and the All-Star Experience – an interactive fan event that included contests, games, displays and Meeting your favorite All-Star players. Our Favorite were the 5 Mammoth team members, who we let autograph Bailey. My mom made her a t-shirt that said "Littlest Mammoth Fan" and we got her signed! It was amazing to see the big rough and tough players with such a little baby.

Then Saturday, we go to go to the All-star luncheon. Andrew Leyshon, the Mammoth goalie, sat and had lunch and talked with us. Then off to the game... By this time Bailey was bored and slept through the entire game. This includes missing a sock trick (6 goals) by Mark Steenhuis. It is like a hat trick in hockey and everyone throws there socks on the field. I came home with out my socks! Bailey was not phased by the screaming, horns or cow bells. Overall it was an amazing weekend of fun!!!


Bailey - sound asleep in her sling missing all the action!
