Dirty 30

David and I signed up to run this "adventure" run together but then he had to work, so my dad stepped up and took his place in the run.  The dirty 30 is a 5K run with 15 obstacles which include mud pits, ice pits, climbing walls, climbing stacks of tires and lots of knee deep mud.  Oh and its a belly crawl to the finish (see below).  We had a great time and I was really impressed with my 50 something dad, I could barely keep up.
The ropes on this wall are about 6 feet off the ground.

MUDDY belly crawl to the finish.

I literally ran up these muddy hills a couple times and slid all the way back down.

I really enjoyed today and as I drove there with my dad it was a bit nostalgic reminding me of early morning races, soccer games or triathlons that my parents would take me to.  I hope that I can carry on and do the same with my girls.

Science Museum


 We have a season pass to the science museum and zoo.  They are both fairly close to our house so it is really nice to go for just a few hours.


Illusions Hall

Children's area with face paint

Talking on "antique" phones. :)


School Program and Carnival

Hazel's class sang cute little songs about sweets for the music program.  I'd been hearing her sing the songs for months now so they weren't much of a surprise. ;) but it was really cute.  




The girls wanted to do the fancy face paint at the carnival.  Hayden wanted to be a puppy and Hazel wanted to be an anaconda.  Their little friend Juniper wanted to be a flower.  The face paint artist was amazingly fast and did an amazing job.


Gymnastics

This spring gymnastics has been so much fun for the girls. I have really seen improvement of their coordination and have seen them learn the first steps of many skills. They both received metals last week and are very proud of them.
