Bryan couldn't believe how big he had gotten already. It's crazy that he was ever as small as Jackson. Steven is such a smiley, happy baby!
We walked to the park for a bit and Steven enjoyed the swing while the daddies shot some baskets.
Jackson just hung out in his stroller.
Sunday morning we had to be at the race site at 5:30 to register and pick up the race packets. It was an hour away in Gilberts, IL so that meant a 4:30am departure time. In order to get all of us ready, I was up at 3:00am. It was really foggy and there were giant mosquitos everywhere.Here are the guys before the race.
We hung out in the car as much as possible to keep the babies away from the mosquitos. Here is Jackson in his sling ready to go watch Daddy cross the finish line.
Mommas and babies ready to go
This is what the boys looked like as they crossed the finish line. The race is a six mile course that alternates running and biking. One person starts running while the other person bikes. The biker gets to the first stopping point, leaves the bike and completes an obstacle. Then the biker takes off running and when the runner catches up, he takes the bike to the next obstacle, and that continues for the whole race. The whole race is through muddy fields so the terrain is quite difficult. Right before the finish line, the partners meet up and army crawl through a mudpit toward the finish line. This is what they looked like right after they crossed.
Muddy and tired!
I can't believe Bryan allowed himself to get this muddy. He does not like to be dirty but you can tell from the people behind him that he was in good company.
The boys hosed off and changed clothes and we went to Pomegranate Cafe for a delicious breakfast. Lea and Lee had to head back to Columbus that afternoon so we snapped a few more pics before they left. Here are daddies and babies.
and mommies and babies.
Lea and I decided we should do Muddy Buddy next year so the guys are in charge of watching the boys or finding alternate care so they can race again too. Anyone wanna come watch some babies next year????
