Roller Derby

We tried something completely new this weekend and went to watch roller derby.



A friend who plays invited us to watch her game, and we thought it would be interesting to check it out. The first several minutes, we had no idea what was going on, and Matt had to look up the basic rules. After that it was so much easier to follow.


Here's the lineup of the team we were supporting. I like the clever names.



Now, I had seen bits about roller derby on tv, in shows like CSI. And the reality was high competition, but not nearly as violent as I'd expected. It was really interesting to watch, even only knowing the basics. Miles and Lily ate cupcakes and sat with their friends (who had electronics!), so they were happy. Clara actually paid attention, and she loved it. She clapped and cheered, and said, "Haha, funny!" several times.




Sorry for the blurry pictures


When Matt saw the following merchandise, he had to buy a couple of stickers (sorry Kat). Granite City is another name for Aberdeen, we were told.

Overall, it was a fun time, and I'm glad we gave it a go!
