Only in Idaho......

This is exactly what I thought Idaho was like when my parents moved to Idaho almost 13 years ago. As redneck and hillbilly as it was, it was quite entertaining. Let me explain. Last night for Family Home Evening we went to my younger sisters High School in Firth and attended Donkey Ball. These are the rules:

There are two people that play center. One person for each team. They are only allowed to be in the center of the gym. They can catch the basket ball and throw it to a team mate, but only if they are touching the center of the gym. Everyone else is on a donkey.

Teammates on Donkeys have to be on the donkey to pass the ball, travel with the ball and make a shot. If the ball is an incomplete pass, they can get off their donkey to retrieve the ball, but must take their donkey with them, Not letting go of it for any reason.

Those are the rules. If you have ever tried to lead a donkey and work with a donkey in any capacity you can see how difficult this might be. It was very entertaining and hilarious!!

During half time they let the kids come down and meet the players. It was fun for the kids to sit on a donkey.

Jax was even intrigued by the events. He sat on my lap most of the time and made growling noises while watching the action. It was funny!
