Back to where it all began. November 16th, Entry #45.

Sara:  Today we played Whirlyball.  It. Was. Epic.  This is where it all began.  And by "it", I mean this blog.  It was at Power Play 3 months ago that C-dub, Kyle, Aaron and myself threw our laser guns into the center of our huddle and shouted on 3 "best job ever!!".  After we had epic amounts of fun that day we decided we needed to return to this haven of fun with more youth ministers to play Whirlyball...possibly the best game ever invented.  After weeks of messing with everyone's schedules we finally decided on a day that lots of us could make.  We got very excited.  Aaron started practicing.  On game day C-dub emailed us all that we couldn't play.  Alas, someone else had booked the whirlyball courts from 1pm-10pm that day.  (i mean really...who is playing that much whirlyball on a school day anyways??)  But, we did not lose hope.  The manager was excited that a bunch of youth ministers wanted to play whirlyball (she figured we were coming to see if we would want to bring our own youth groups soon...we let her keep thinking that) so she said that we could come back next week and play for free.  And play we did.  We played and we played...we played through broken throwers, broken whiffle balls, bloody fingers, whiplash, pent-up aggression towards each other, really bad aim, bruised knees, sweaty tushes and carts that would sometimes stop working for no apparent reason.  But the game must go on.

Our whole group.  Don't we look intimidating?  No?  Ok, I'll just settle for good looking.



Kyle was really excited to play.  He was taking video before we even stated playing.



Chelsea halfway through our game....this is an exhausting game.  It really is.

The Red group.  They were good, just not as good as my group!



I actually drew blood from Chris!  I broke skin!  He was not very happy with me. 
I felt really bad, but....you've got to do what it takes to win!



Yup, even with me and Joe's horrible aim and ridiculous amounts of missed shots,
we still managed to be victorious!
