Warrior Dash

Last weekend marked the 1 month anniversary of being home owners.  All of our wonderful house guests were still in town and my friend Katie was also visiting for the weekend.  It was a fun relaxed weekend for the most part, but there was one big event on Saturday afternoon.  Nick and Brandon participated in The Warrior Dash, a 5k race with 12 obstacles mixed in.  The obstacles range from jumping over fire to swimming through a mud pit, to climbing a cargo net wall.  Katie and I could only see a couple of the obstacles from where we stood, but it looked like it was a pretty touch race and the boys were pretty gross at the end.  I will let the pictures tell the story:

The mud part was pretty gross but all in all it was a good day.  Because the boys were so exhausted after the race we decided to just have people over to our house for a fire that night.  Nick and Brandon had to show off their "Viking Helmets" but the other boys didn't want to be left out:

It was a great weekend and a great way to send our guests off to their next adventures!
