Flag Football

What a gorgeous day Sunday! Saeed, Gabriel and Shirin met David, Jenny and Clayton at Winthrop Lake for a friendly game of flag football. It was sunny, in the upper 60's and actually almost hot in the sun. They came prepared with flags, football and plenty of water.

This was the Red Team.

This was the Yellow Team.

Although Gabriel is on the Red team, he is always the one to run these games. Fortunately he is a trustworthy director as evidenced by the Yellow team's rapt attention.

David gives Jenny, who's from China and has never played football, a few tips about American football.

And the game begins!

You can see the ball in the air on the right. Since Saeed threw it I hope either Clayton or Shirin caught it!

Another scramble for the ball.

Saeed punts.

David throws one passed Saeed.

C'mon Shirin, grab David's flag!

I'm not sure if it's a legitimate strategy, but it looks like the running back from the Red team is making advances towards the defensive end from the Yellow team!
I don't know who won yesterday's game, but it was a lot of fun. Cha Cha would have had a blast. Afterwards some went out for Mexican food and others ate leftovers from Thanksgiving. Time for more naps!
