Friday Fun Link – Edmonton Is No Good

Saturday Snap – Pace: 2, Team Yellow: 1

Although he enjoys swimming, gymnastics, diving and other similar sports, Pace has never shown much interest in team sports. But we keep trying… Our local community centre has a “Give It A Try” program where kids can try different activities every Friday night – broomball, yoga, floor hockey, ju-jit-su and possibly others as well.

…what hand we use to shoot in hockey. (I’m a lefty but my dad’s a righty. Pace and I were on the driveway playing tonight and he was shooting right as well. Weird.) (via Reddit)
