BMA "off-year" Olympics

It's been an "off-year" in many ways.  We had a good crew of student-athletes on campus Friday, Feb. 19 so we put on our own games.  This is a long blog-post but hopefully you will have as much fun viewing as we had playing.

Opening ceremonies included "Have you ever?"  A paper plate secured your location in the circle.

 We moved on to the challenge of passing a lifesaver with a toothpick in your mouth.

 The return trip involved passing a playing card with your mouth.  So gross and so sweet at the same time.

Christopher is making sure that all moves are legit.

Next up: caterpillar racing.

I sure hope this video works.  Ski racers are so coordinated.

This game involved quickly identifying the player on the other side of the curtain.  Winner takes loser.

This one proved more challenging than anticipated.  Carry the skittle across the room with a straw.  20 skittles per team.

Danya's got good technique.

Anna looks so sure.....

Carter thinks not...."How did I end up on this team?"

 Burkies are not known for being self-conscious.

This team was going for the intimidation factor.

The Coles are neck and neck.....

I appreciate Olivia's spirit.

 And what are games without a math challenge?  The question is in the envelope.

Hmmmmmmm........

It's 1!

No wait....it's 10!!!  As JLo said, you've got to follow PEMDAS.

In the end, the scoreboard was irrelevant.

Closing ceremonies involved a "rain circle" in an attempt to employ the law of similars: like treats like.  Fight the disease with the symptom.  We tried :(
