Donkey Basketball

     On Wednesday the girls and I got the opportunity, nay, the honor, to attend a game of Donkey Basketball in which Matt was a player.  The Springville High School FFA does a fundraiser each year, and they invite the fire fighters and the police officers to play a game of Donkey Basketball against each other.  The second game was played between the teachers and the students, and the third game was the championship game.  The fire fighters took home the trophy.
   
     For those of you who don't already know the rules of Donkey Basketball, let me explain.  Each player has a donkey, and he or she must be on the donkey's back to handle the ball.  If the ball gets dropped, you have to get off the donkey to pick it up, but you have to get back on before you can shoot or pass to another player.  Frankly, it's hilarious.

     Aside from the fact that the donkeys kept bucking the players off, Matt looks hilarious on a donkey.  The first game he played he rode the shortest donkey, and he looked really stout.  Pretty much everyone looked stout, but to see Matt that way made me laugh out loud. 

     It was a really fun evening, and even though both of the girls went to bed really late, they seemed to enjoy nearly every minute of all three games.  I know I did.

                                  This is Matt out in front on the donkey.  What an action shot!
