Our Travels: Mud Run & Cement Slide

4-24-16

It’s that time of year when the Famous Mud Run comes to base. Preston always puts a team together and does the 10k. This year Kayden is old enough to take part in the kids mud run, which is great since if he does it I know Makayla will too.

This course was so much fun. They set up a bunch of different obstacles over the course of a mile with a sprint challenge at the very end. I am so proud of how well they both did, they gave it their all. Next year Makayla will be able to do the older kids run and put together her own team. I’m thinking we might have to make this event a girl scout one next year!

*I was supposed to do this mud run as well, but since I fell down the stairs and broke my tailbone (that takes skills lol) it was just a bit too painful. :( Next year, watch out!

Getting pumped up

Look at that speed!

Finishing Strong

McKinley even needed some water-cheering on her brother and sister took a lot of work

The kids weren’t too tired to skip checking out a new park. If you haven’t already guessed it I LOVE finding new parks! This one, however, we will not be going back to. Once was enough for me. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack at any second, my anxiety was going crazy.

The main attraction is the giant cement slide. We have seen these before, but this is like drop slide out of cement. I feared the kids were going to fall of the edge and crack their heads open. Geesh, just thinking about it. Of course that did NOT happen and the kids had a great time. Makayla wished she had long shorts on, but she powered through a little friction burn.
