SNOW TACKLE FOOTBALL!!!
Tuesday, January 25, 2005
The first blizzard means it’s time for snowball fights and all sorts of aggressive acts that become padded, somehow, through the soft muffling fluffiness of snow.
I actually missed most of the actually snowball fighting, which didn’t last very long anyway. That degraded very quickly into “snow tackling”...which naturally lead to our next activity: Snow Tackle Football! Exhilerating! I probably didn’t spell that right. Ah, yes. EXHILARATING. There we go.
I’ve never gotten to tackle anyone full on before, but that day, i actually got a body-flying, both feet in the air tackle. Unfortunately, the girl i tackled was not someone i had known before that day, so i hope she didn’t take it badly. But the day was all sorts of rough and tumble! Erica must have gotten MVP (especially for that play where everyone was trying to tackle and support her which meant she was actually lifted off the ground at some point); Susan just kept on tromping through people as they clung to her legs; Tony had 5 people on him and wouldn’t stop; and then there was Jen G. who took Jeremy down when she had already fallen victim to the snow.
All in all, a great day! Thanks guys!
