The Airplane-Pull

The corporate sponsorship of the Special Olympics led to a second family outing in as many weeks...last Sunday after gymnastics, we dropped our infant off at grandma's and headed to the airport.

My husband's company had sponsored the annual "airplane pull", and my husband was part of the team. In the first part of this two-part competition, the team tries to pull an airplane as fast as possible over three metres. In the second part, a smaller team has up to two minutes to pull the airplane over the same distance. The goal is to do so using as little weight as possible. The team members are then weighed.

Although the competition lasts just a few minutes per team, there were plenty of fun actives organized for the kids. There was a bouncy castle, peddle-cars, and the opportunity to meet a police dog. Here are a few photos of from the airplane-pull:
