Hula Hoop-ing: Harder Than it Looks

On a beautiful Bozeman afternoon, Caitlin, Megan, Krissey, and Peggy (she's the final bozoner you will meet, and you'll see much more of her in the future) met at Caitlin's house to complete Task #4, Hula-Hooping.  Krissey came over with big stories of how she was now up to TWO..count 'em TWO!..hula hoops on her Wii Fit video game.  Somehow, her "mad skillz" in the virtual world didn't transfer so well to the real world!


Oddly enough, it was Peggy who had no problem with the Hula Hoop-ing.  Peggy, who weighs 100 pounds soaking wet and does not have any hips, could Hula Hoop like nobody's business.  She stood there, barely moving her torso as the Hula Hoop whipped around her, staring at us like "Why are you all finding this so difficult?"


Caitlin's boyfriend, Mike, was the official photographer for all Hula Hoop photos.  At one point, he wondered aloud whether he was supposed to take photos of us Hula Hoop-ing or Spazzing Out.


We kept at it, trying our hardest to get it right.  Ugh, so close!


And finally:  The Money Shot!


It was at this point that Krissey's training in the Wii virtual world FINALLY kicked in.  Long after our Hula-ing had failed and our Hoops had crashed to the ground, her natural ability and talent kept going.  We were all impressed!


Total points earned:  11, Hilarity Factor: 135.  Tomorrow you will learn what other fun things we did at Caitlin's house to earn points.
