I'm going back in time a little bit, so bear with me. I have to update you on the Trolympics. Many of you know what that is, but some of you are in the dark. Prepare to be enlightened!!! The Trolympics were invented in 2007 by Troy L. Manning as a way to celebrate his birthday. The Trolympics were a test of endurance, strength, and mental stamina. Participants of the Trolympics began the day with a Procession followed by the inaugural speech given by Troy L. Manning. The first two pictures were taken during the Processional. Each participant and Hogan had a flag decorated by Hogan to wave proudly during the Processional. We marched around the house to the meeting spot (living room) where we all listened intently to Troy's moving speech (is everyone picturing us marching around a 2-bedroom apartment like idiots? If not, do so now!). After the speech, we started the games. There were 5 games total: washers, badminton, free throw competition, ping pong, and War (also known as Battle). It was a tough competition and everyone played their hardest, but only 3 could be awarded medals! The final picture shows our 3 winners. Troy was in 1st, Hair in 2nd, and Papa G in 3rd. Although no women placed in the Trolympics (we are protesting this and asking for changes in next year's games), I am proud to announce that Tami represented well, coming in first out of the women. The Trolympics ended with a Recessional (again- imagine all of us marching through the apartment) and the awarding of the medals. Three Cheers to the Trolympics!!!!!!
