In the far-flung, potato-rich land of Idaho, where the mountains are tall and the rivers run wild, there exists an extraordinary group of kids. They're not your average, television-watching, video game-playing, candy-chomping youths. Oh no, they're the Lacrosse Lads and Lasses of Idaho, a bunch of stick-wielding, ball-chasing, goal-scoring dynamos! Picture this, kiddos. The sun rises over the top of a mighty Idaho mountain, casting long shadows over the dew-kissed fields. The air is charged with excitement as the Lacrosse Lads and Lasses, armed with their lacrosse sticks (or "crosses" as they like to call them), gather for another fun-filled day of lacrosse. Their uniforms are as colorful as an Idaho rainbow trout, and their smiles are as bright as Idaho's famous golden potatoes. Now, meet our imaginary character, Larry the Laughing Llama. Larry isn't just any llama. He's a lacrosse-loving, ball-launching, referee-whistle-blowing kind of llama. He's the unofficial mascot and cheerleader of the Lacrosse Lads and Lasses. He's there at every practice, every game, cheering, laughing, and sometimes even playing! What a sight it is when Larry starts running down the field, the lacrosse ball balanced precariously on the head of his stick. The kids all laugh and cheer as the big, funny llama dribbles the ball like a pro, his long, gangly legs flailing all over the place. And when Larry scores a goal? Well, let's just say there's more laughter heard in Idaho than anywhere else in the world! The Lacrosse Lads and Lasses of Idaho and Larry the Laughing Llama - together they create a picture of childlike wonder, joy, and the magic of sport in the heart of the gem state, Idaho.
