Donkey What???
Yup that’s right Donkey Basketball. You are not just seeing things. Yes that is me and Laura riding donkeys, while attempting to play basketball for a school fundraiser. I was on the Camp Forest Springs team and Laura was on the Teachers team. There were two others teams in the contest, so no I didn’t get a chance to play Laura’s team. The object of Donkey Basketball is to move up and down the court riding your donkey and trying to pass and shoot a basketball. You must be ON your donkey to pass or shoot. My donkey…named “Honey Pot” did not move anywhere the entire game. In fact I got called for a 5 minute lane violation because he would not move. Our team won our first game by a rock, paper, scissors tie breaker, but we ended up losing the final game by a score of 2-0. This game…though funny looking…is not as easy as one would think. It was fun, but I don’t think you’ll see me rushing out to do that again. Check out the pictures!!!
This is me and half my team anxiously awaiting our turn. Yes that is a Hawaiian grass skirt.
Tag, I’m in. Now I’ve got to get up…boy he was a big one!!!

Here I am trying to talk my donkey into moving…not working.
Now it’s Laura’s turn to try and get her donkey to move.

Here is Laura getting coached by the referee.
