30 Days of Thanksgiving: November 10--Ultimate Frisbee

On Sunday afternoons at 3:00 sharp. . .oh, I mean 3:45ish. . .or whenever people show up . . .between 20-40 men, women, boys, and girls appear on the NCA soccer field for a game of Ultimate Frisbee! I'm not sure how long the tradition has gone on, but Ruth and I enjoy the fellowship and mostly friendly competition with a variety of expats, missionaries, and Nicaraguans. We are sweating before the game starts due to the heat and humidity, so you can only imagine how nasty we are after the second game (if we can muster through both!). The younger kids (including all of ours) run around together on the NCA playground, though we've recently hired a neighbor girl to keep her eyes on Charlotte during the games. Ruth had a nasty ankle sprain after stepping in a hole on the field (some of you may remember the Rehoboth prairie dog holes back in the day?) a while ago that kept her off the field for a month, but last week she made her strong comeback and has mostly recovered.
