so...
this list of newness
last weekend I received an invitation on facebook
to a new and interesting activity going on here in Rexburg
this activity includes
brooms
golden hoops
bright colors
team rivalry
wands
bludgers and quaffles
and of course
a snitch
haha! there are real life quidditch games taking place in little ol' Rexburg
so naturally I HAD to go and at least see what was going on.
These are my friends and the sadly defeated Gryffindor team
(from right to left, katie, mauri, megan, Gryffindor members, Shayne, Snitch)
now some of you may be wondering how in the world this little man dressed in yellow could have been the snitch...
we wondered too when we arrived.
actually we didn't even see him until after the game had started
we were sitting on the grass
quietly observing the game in awe
kids running back and forth between two sets of golden hoops on brooms throwing red rubber balls at each other and trying to throw a soccer ball through one of the hoops will do that you know.
awe and inspire you
:)
anyways as we were sitting and wondering how this game would end without a snitch...
when a streak of yellow flashed by
caught just out of the corner of everyone's eyes.
we all looked in disbelief.
yes.
the snitch was a person, dressing in yellow, running around the entire park, trying to keep away from the two seekers (on brooms mind you) who were frantically trying to catch him.
I honestly could not stop laughing
so i just wanted to share a bit of all of this with you
More shots of some of the Gryffindor team members.
(they made their own legit robes)
intense!
and they really flew!
Needless to say
Life's pretty amazing here in the Burg these days.
hahahahahaha. i love the quidditch business. i'll have to bring junior & learn him the ways... :) and we're waiting to meet this todd fellow. he looks like a spy. are you allowed to date spies?
