Mother's Day

Trilogy Lacrosse Clinic in Pelham draws over 100 kids and 

Black Squirrel Sightings to boot.

Ned Crotty

Max Quinzani

Pelham's Ingall's field was filled with over 100 boys learning lacrosse tips from two of the best -- Ned Crotty and Max Quinzani -- two former attackmen that led Duke to a 2010 National Championship. Ned is currently working for Trilogy Lacrosse, an organization that prides itself on being the leader in lacrosse education. With its unique teaching philosophy Trilogy Lacrosse has created a first-class reputation for personal commitment to every student-athlete.  Those of us who watched Ned and Max conduct yesterday's clinic, and many who have attended Trilogy's camps, would agree with the Trilogy statement that, "First and foremost, we are educators."

On the sidelines I had several Black Squirrel sightings.

Whoever said you can’t treat yourself on Mother’s Day? Go ahead, I did!

I just returned from a long weekend in Atlantis with my boys (Quinn & Hayne), my good friend from Colorado, Andrea, and her two boys (Ben & Ryan). While Atlantis may not have been mine or Andrea’s top pick, the vacation criteria was somewhere warm with lots of convenient activities for our boys – and it hit on all the metrics.

Here are a few of our favorite things:

• Snorkeling with Capt. Basil of the Blue Hole
• Conch salad and grouper fingers at Bro B's
• Sunsets on the beach
• Caribbean beverages for all ages
• Mayan temple slides

These things were all great, but truly my everlasting memories will be of all the smiles, laughter and idle chit chat with good friends and family. While great memories can be created anywhere, it certainly does not hurt having blue skies, warm air, green seas and laid back island attitude to put you in the right frame of mind.

I admit my early Mother’s Day treat was a bit extravagant, but I blame that on Andrea’s persuasive ways. If you can’t pop down to the islands for the weekend, let me offer you some of my favorite “island tested” Black Squirrel goods. My Island Company board skirt was a perfect complement to my bathing suit and worked well with running shoes when the boys and I walked across the bridge to the food “shacks.” My Island Company Niki shirt was super comfy and just the right length. Lastly, as I have said before my Native sunglasses were a huge hit.








































If you do treat yourself at BSQO or anywhere please share your purchases or experiences with me. Happy Mother’s Day!
