Dirty Dash 2011!

Best way to exercise ever! Last Saturday, we went up to Soldier Hollow to run walk (let's be honest here) the Dirty Dash, a 5k race up/down the mountain and through a bunch of muddy obstacles!  The whole point was to get dirty and have fun! Done and Done!

Our Team: The Never Nudes (for all you Arrested Development fans)
before the race. . .

and after...

Now let's see how we got there with this myriad of pictures. . . 

me, kev, and zach

This was the very start of the race.  We all ran (actually me and zach sprinted. if you look closely, you can see me in the top left corner, about 5 people from the top, almost the front of the pack) up this hill full of mud, which was probably a bad idea because it was actually really exhausting.

We jumped over hay bales, crawled through muddy tubes, climbed walls, got water balloons thrown at us.  If that doesn't sound like fun than what does? 

 

 The huge slide.  This picture does not do this justice.  It was actually really big and down a pretty steep hill

  

The final obstacle. . . a waist deep mud pool!

The FREEZING showers.  Holy cow, the coldest shower I have ever taken

The race took us just over an hour to complete.  Thanks to my dad who came up and watched Eli and took all these great photos!  We will definitely be doing it next year.

Kickball Anyone?

Totally random, I know!  A friend of Zach's called him up Friday and asked if we would play kickball, they were short a few players.  Hello!? It had been over 15 years since I played kickball and didn't even know that leagues even existed.  Well, they do and it was actually pretty fun.

Neighborhood Carnival

Our cute neighborhood puts on this carnival every year.  Food, music, dunk tank, bounce house, and friends.

Cupcakes are Funny!

Check out this video of Eli cracking up as I was making cupcakes this afternoon.   Who knew making cupcakes could be so funny!

Can't believe that it's been over a month since my last post, such a slacker.  I finally updated with a few posts to recap our awesome month, read below.
