For the former Bald Kid’s birthday, he wanted to do something particularly tough and manly. So he asked that every able and willing soul in our family do the Mud Run with him. It helped a ton that this event actually took place on his birthday. Slightly providential, I’d say.
All those brave folks converged on Soldier Hollow and ran through a bunch of muddy obstacles. Apparently you could get slightly muddy or terrifically muddy–depending on your particular vigor and/or love of or aversion to…ahem…mud.
Jillian and I sat this happy event out under a lovely canopy under the guise of taking care of the younger kids that couldn’t join in. Phew!
As you can see–if you wanted to stay crisp and clean–we were the lucky ones.
If you wanted to have a memorable, hilarious bonding experience–then we missed out on most of that. But we were there and were able to take the pictures that the muddy buddies couldn’t.
Happy Birthday Rhen. If you didn’t already know–then there can be no question– you are SO loved.
