Donkey Basketball Game

Yes, you read that correctly.  Apparently this is a thing in Oklahoma.  There is a company that brings in donkeys, and people sit on them and play basketball.  Or try to.  Most of the fun comes from stubborn donkeys tipping their riders off, refusing to move, or moving just as the rider attempts to get on.  In this particular case the game was a fundraiser for a local school, and students played against teachers. It was pretty funny, though at times I felt bad for the donkeys - especially when they put the biggest guy on a small donkey.  I didn't feel too bad for the girls in tutus who had to run out onto the floor and clean up the donkey droppings though.  Izzie and Ben went for a short donkey ride across the gymnasium floor at halftime, and Grandma Patsy bought them tasty snacks from the canteen.
