Kudzu

Every year on Memorial Day weekend there is a local frisbee tournament called Kudzu. There are a few legit club teams that come but mostly it's filled with pick-up teams. Just groups of friends getting together to play and have fun for the weekend. Derrick and I always try to play in this tournament because the weather is nice, most of our friends play, and it's close by so we don't have to drive forever and we can sleep in our own bed that night!

This year we played for a team called Osos y Amigos. Bryan Brickhouse and his fiance Caroline captained and asked us to play so we jumped at the chance. The cool thing is that The Osos is actually the name of Lenoir Rhyne College's ultimate team. Lenoir Rhyne is in Hickory! Brickhouse went to LR for undergrad I think and this team had a couple other alumni from the Osos.  Oso means Bear in Spanish and the LR mascot is a bear.  They had to add amigos to it as there were more amigos then Osos on the team.

It was a really fun weekend. The weather was the coolest it's been in a few years at around 78 degrees each day, the wind was just breezy enough to be cool but not to affect the game play too much, and we were able to win a couple games. I think we ended up in 6th place but it was fun to play with new people and spend Memorial Day out in the sun!
