Day 200: Ultimate Mondays

We head into this Ultimate Monday with something never before seen, a two-game winning streak.  The weather was good, morale was high, and more importantly, the Slip-N-Slide was out in force.

Things unfolded the same way they usually did as far as I can recall.  A slow start by the Quick Dumpers, but I held out some hope.  After all, they were bound to get their second wind after half-time right?  Well, I think they did to some extent, they certainly played a lot better than they did in the first half, but I think today was just an off-day.

In the end, the Quick Dumpers weren't able to make up the deficit, but all-in-all, it was a good time.  I too, felt like I caught my second wind during the game.  Most of my keepers, and the photos you see here are from the second half of the game, when I started to really crank the frames.

As for the Slip-N-Slide?  Well, it's no longer undefeated.
