The Highland Games 2014

If you liked them last year, you'll love them this year! Added this year was a game called "Walk the Plank or Die" Don't worry - no one actually died but it was fun! In this new timed event you had to put your forehead on the butt of an ax handle (kind of like using a baseball bat) and spin around 5 times. Then you had to walk across a 12 foot plank suspended by milk crates at each end. If you fell off the plank then you got 5 seconds added to your score. Then you had to run like a drunken person around a cone placed about 25 yards further, then sprint back to the finish line!

Jane and I were the judges, spin counters, etc. One guest noted that the shorter the person the better they did. Hmmm. . . did they not get as dizzy? Who knows! Just for fun here are some of the photos of the days events:
Team East - Natalie, Matt, Ben, Mike, Jorge, Caitlyn

Team Trailer Trash (just down from Snob Hill!) - Bob, Pam, Dawnella, Sonya, Antonio, Reed


There was a Team Rio, but I somehow failed to get a photo of them. Sorry!
