Tonight we went to the donkey basketball game at Bethany. Have you ever been to a donkey basketball game? The "athletes" are comprised of students, board members and local pastors. They actually have a basketball game while riding (mostly attempting to ride) donkeys. It is really funny to watch the players get bucked off or slide down their necks as the donkeys put their heads down to try and get them off their backs. They are stubborn and slow. You have to be on the donkey's back to receive a pass and to shoot. The games were low scoring... 6-2 and 4-2. They gave rides to the kids at intermission and they did just fine then. Madison even rode the most ornery one, "Buck-Master". The donkeys must understand the "heat" of the game. The think the player is on one team and their donkey is on the other. Holyn came with us tonight and is staying overnight. Quinn planned to meet Tyler there so they sat together and Quinn ended up staying overnight at his house. Tony met us there but went back to work after it was over. : (
Overall it was a fun evening. I'm sure you can see the news highlights at www.fox28.com tomorrow. They had a good segment on it tonight.

Yes, we had at least 2 of these when I was in High School. It is so funny to watch and that's a good pic of Madison on Buckmaster. I remember the donkey's going potty on the gym floors and it being cleaned up. The gym floors were always considered "precious".
