After lacrosse today, we decided to check out some of beautiful Lake Placid.
We began with a look at the ski jumping venue. We took the chairlift to the top.

There was also a podium there, which was kind of cool, with the Olympics on right now, so Warren and I decided to see who should be on the Gold Medal platform.

We then decided to head up Whiteface Mountain, a really good decision, what an incredible view.
We all had a great day.
....but earlier in the day.........we played some lacrosse.
Today was another day, we decided to put the difficult loss on Friday behind us. We needed to refocus on today's game against Tri-City, a New York based team.
We got off to another slow start though....and by part way through the third quarter, we were down
4 to 1. Not good.......but one thing about lacrosse is that things can change quickly. Ted Sawicki played amazing in net....and continually kept us in the game. Bob Wasson let a beautiful low screen shot go, and it was 4 2. We had some life.....and suddenly it was 4 - 4. We continued to battle, and I got the good fortune of picking up a loose ball that had been lying on the grass, it seemed like forever, and was left untouched to give the Canadian side a 6 5 lead late in the game, but they tied it with about a minute to go.
But this was our day. Wasson fired in his 4th goal of the game, to give us a big win. Final 7 - 6.
We play now on Sunday for 5th place out of 16 teams, not too bad.
