Andy and several other originally unwilling participants were roped into participating in the pig event so that the commander wasn't out there all by his lonesome. If you refer back to a previous post (or maybe some of you still have it fresh in your minds), Andy was introduced to pig chasing on a recent trip back to Indiana. Although that memory remains a tough one for Andy to make peace with, the skills he learned on that trip served him well today!
The participants had their legs tied together as well as one of their arms tied to their belt loop to make it more difficult. They actually looked like a group of zombies shuffling around out there after the pigs because of their limited mobility. It was quite a site! =) The goal was the catch a greased pig and put a t-shirt on it (head in the hole and front legs in the arm holes!) Andy and Jamil ended up placing third, but they should still be proud of their efforts.
They get it cornered!!
Andy gets a back leg and the pig is officially theirs!! Now what to do with it?!?
It looks like they have done this before!!
Now we have to get the pig all they way over THERE to get the t-shirt!!
Struggling to "dress" the pig and beat the other team that is working hard in the opposite corner!
The look of defeat as the other team finishes just before them!
The day wasn't all about pig chasing. We did compete in the turkey shoot and got to spend some quality time with Emily and Molly Paige. While watching Uncle Andy in the pig contest, Molly Paige kept shouting "doggie"....apparently she has never seen a pig before!! We need to get that girl out of the city more often!
Andy looks on and admires my shooting skills =)
We hope you are all having a fun weekend and are getting geared up for the holidays. We will be traveling to North Carolina next week to spend Thanksgiving with Andy's family and we couldn't be more excited!
