A CRUM THING

While sitting here in my make shift room the thought came upon me as to what I thought was the most competitive all around sport for us as a family of Crums. Of course the thought of basketball and football come to mind, but I believe the true answer to the thought is VOLLEYBALL. After playing quite a few games last night at church and remember the games we had this past summer as a group of brothers in Colorado, these assumptions about the sport came to me: First you don't really need to be real fast or agile to make a good play whether with a dig, set, or spike. Second good team work is a necessity, unlike in football or basketball, Crum style, when a game can be won because of one or two players hogging the ball and scoring most of the points. The Final and main point of this discussion is that all the brothers, sister, and parents actually like and enjoy playing volleyball, I don't think the same is true for any other sport, except maybe bocce ball, but teams aren't a necessity to play! Although it may not be my favorite sport, it is in the top 5 to play in my book, and I really do think it needs to become a family tradition to play it, especially when Peter and the older brothers from out of town are present(and Michal and Jess too) ((maybe even Jude someday soon))
