Colorado Springs Dirty Dash

Several months back Luke and I signed up for a mud run in Colorado Springs.  Jack has been looking forward to it all summer since he was old enough for the kids mud run. It worked out perfectly that this was the last weekend before Jack started school so it was kind of like his last hoorah. 

Here are the kids all clean before the race

Our friends who were crazy enough to do this with us

The cleanest part of the day

At the beginning of the race they make you jump right into a mud pit ... guess its good to get your shoes muddy right off the bat

The boys had to wait all afternoon for the kids race

Can you recognize us?

Kids race time!

We were even able to take Lily on the race. The kids race was a mile long and included several mud pits to jump in, a mud tunnel to climb through and a huge slide which ended in another mud pit. Needless to say we were all covered in mud:

The kids loved being muddy

It was an awesome way to end our summer vacation!
