| Paa Mul Olympics |
On Feb 15 the Paamul Olympics joined the Games of Vancouver 2010.
I have to say that after we had these Olympic´s I am even more proud to say I am a Paamulian!
We had a BLAST!
There were 80 players divided into 8 “countries”
Each team had a t-shirt colour and a came up with a fictitious country name such as Rango Tango (orange), Thongo (white)Keltie, Turtleonia (green)Natalie and Jamin, ROOF - Republic of old Farts (pink), Principality of Merlot (red), Blue Paradise (blue)Sabie and Locklin, Terra Nova (yellow), and our team the Pirates of Neverland (black).
As well each team added to their costumes, designed a flag, and brought an anthem or cheer.
The Games began with the arrival of the torch, carried by Richard, one of theoldest residents of Paamul, who then led us on a parade around the park, and then to the events:
1. Snow Plowing Relay Race (grabbing a handful of sand from your bucket, racing back and passing it hand to hand, then back to try filling your bottle)
2. Harpoon throw (with those spongy swimming noodles)
3. X Country skiing (in tandem groups of 5 strapped to long 2x4 boards)
4. Snowball Toss (a snowbird rv park classic - golf balls on a string tossed at the ‘ladder’ - they always fly off)
5. Hockey shot (another snowbird classic - washers toss)
6 Curling (with bumpy coconuts)
7. Icicle Melt (a team effort to run a frozen balloon on a string through all your team’s clothing, top to bottom, and all the way out again)
8. Aerials (throwing and catching small balloons filled with water)
