June 27 - Wiffle Lacrosse

In the summer aisle of the grocery store, we couldn't resist plastic lacrosse rackets with wiffle balls. They're not actual wiffle balls, but rather "fun balls," plastic balls in bright colors with uniform holes all over them. (Wiffle balls have slits designed to throw curve balls; not good for lacrosse) We bought four in different colors. I like the purple and yellow one. Before challenging Spencer to a game, I practiced tossing the ball in the air and catching it in the rope-netted pocket of the racket. I can catch it about 20 percent of the time. Spencer has about the same success rate without practicing. Fun!
