Olympic Glory!

The AC Olympics went very well yesterday. :-) Aaron,
Adriana, and Pam arrived at 11:40 and we watched some
of the Chiefs-Falcons game while we waited for the
second troupe to show. They were running late because
Mike had to bail, and K and Shawn were left without a
ride. They showed up at about 12:50, a bit late, but
we were still able to get everything in, plus some.

So it was K, Shawn, Aaron, Adriana, Pam, Annie, Ramon,
Kimmie, Michele, and I.

Event #1 was Russian Volleyball. We walked over to
the local schoolyard, Ute Meadows, and played the
first event. Michele and Annie sat out, and Michele
did the scorekeeping. The rules were simple: Russian
Volleyball, but with 2-man teams, points scored for
spikes and intercepts, and game to 15. The game wen
ton for about 40 minutes and just like last time we
all LOVED it. What a great game. Maybe I'll make a
video game out of it someday. :-)

Team Aaron-Ramon took gold, with John-Pam and
K-Adriana a close 2nd and 3rd. The final point was
registered by me when K and I were both reaching for
the ball at the end of the game. If he hits it, it
spikes off me and he takes silver. If I catch it,
point, and I get silver. It was a fun moment and a
fun game. I caught the ball. BOO-YAH! ;-)

Event #2 was supposed to be Laser Tag, but it was
decided that to facilitate easier travel arrangements,
we'd push that off til last since the place was over
at I-25 and Hampden. So we played Taboo!

I won't explain the rules of Taboo, but suffice to say
it is a great party game and I'm sure it'll make an
appearance when we head to Estes Park in January. We
once again formed teams (these were done randomly by
the way), and here were the results:

Gold - Ramon-Kimmie-K
Silver - John-Michele-Annie-Aaron
Bronze - Shawn-Pam-Adriana

The gold medal team really kicked butt, with a late
surge by my team...but it was much to overcome. WOW!

Event #3 was the much anticipates Adventure Club
Trivia contest! It was split up into two rounds.
Round 1 features 27 general questions. Questions
anyone could answer. Round 2 had questions about
people on the room, so the three teams rotated so that
only 2 teams at a time could answer, with the question
about the 3rd team.

In total, there were 57 questions. I think all but
about 4 were answered! Not bad! :-)

Gold: K-Shawn-Pam
Silver: Aaron-Adriana-Michele

Event #4...LASER TAG!!!! Actually, the results were
surprising! Ramon and I had played Laserquest several
times before, but the three medalists were virgins.
Once again, K showed superiority as he found a nice
sniping post and squashed the competition...OK, it was
close. ;-)

Gold: K
Silver: Aaron
Bronze: Shawn

The overall medals were presented afterwards to the
three top players on the day, based on medals.

Overall Gold: K
Overall Silver: Aaron
Overall Bronze: Ramon

CONGRATS TO ALL! Now don't sell the medals on eBay.
;-)
