Adventure Races aren't for suckers!

Friday night, the family crew headed down to Picnic Island to compete in an adventure race. Before we arrived, I was a little bummed that I'm not able to participate in said activities just yet and found myself thinking of next years races. Ha! Well after watching this race, I've realized I definitely want to compete in next year's series of races but it's going to be a challenge and I might come in last!

Here's the boys at the start of the race: Joe, Ryan, David and our friend Saul. If you look closely enough you can see David's race number and the reason for his new 'El Diablo' nickname.

This was my favorite obstacle to watch the contestants struggle through. Some just slid right under the net, like Joe did here. What a champ! But a few people got hung up and backed up the line to get through this part of the course.. actually everyone from our group did really well at this obstacle.

Here's Ryan strolling through the water towards the end of the course. He looks a little tired here for a good reason. Ryan decided to compete in this race but at first thought he wouldn't. His reasoning for taking a pass on this race was that he hasn't run at all in over a month! But, he still did pretty darn good!

David and Ryan finished in the top 60 and got a sweet glass for their efforts.

Family photo! I think Jona is rooting around for a feeding time here... the girl likes to eat!

Can the kid get any cuter?!

Jona and her daddy :)

Here's a photo opp of Jona and Finley meeting for the first time. They look so excited to meet eachother!

Well until next time..
