Ultimate Frisbee

Yesterday was one of the best family gatherings ever. It started with an intense game of baseball with 4 person teams. We used water guns for bases and the corn field and house for our foul lines. That game stopped when the food was ready. The next game of baseball was a little better because more people were there. I did terrible. When I wasn't striking out, I was hitting the house, which is an automatic out.
When the frisbee got there is when the real party started. The two best ultimate frisbee players were team captains. I got picked last of course, because it is a running game. We played for a long time, and my time was losing really badly. We blamed this on the fact that the other team had all the tall people. We took a break so we could repick teams, same captains though. I was last again, and we ended up just trading our shortest player for their tallest. This game was awesome. It was 20 minutes before the first team even scored. We said we were going to play first one to 7, win by two. However, when the score got to be 8-8 we said first one to ten wins. It got to be 9-9, and we had two touchdown passes that were dropped. The other team ended up winning. I lost every game, baseball and frisbee.
After that we watched the fireworks and let off some of our own. Then we played rockband and watched the Cubs win. It was a blast. I can't wait until the going away party, it's going to be ten times better.
