Mud Volleyball

My cousin Dallis put together a mud volleyball team for Salem Days. It was me, Chasey, Dallis, Brett, Sandra, and Alex. Dallis named our team the SPP- the Salem Pond Posse. What they do is have the firetruck come down to the rodeo arena and make "mud" for you to play in. Since it is at the arena there is poop in it too. GROSE, I know! Its even more grose when it gets in your mouth. We had a lot of fun playing ALL day though! We lost our first game, but made a come back and played another 4 hours. As soon as you lost 2 you were out. We won 5th out of 30 teams... not too bad. For some reason Chase was the only person there who was not covered in mud. He said it was because he was so fast he didn't have to dive for the ball. I think he was just scared to get dirty. They had a firtruck there so you could get sprayed off after each game. You could feel the acid from the mud ( or the poop) burning your skin. By the end we were pretty dead-being in the sun all day wiped us out. It felt like we had been at the beach all day. It took about three washes in the shower to get all the mud off. I was still digging it out of my ears on Sunday. It was for sure a fun time- Good Job SPP!!!
