For the past couple of weeks we have been talking about our summer bucket lists! Stella and Sophia made a bucket list in school and we are making family bucket lists too. The other day the girls and I were running errands in the mini-van and Sophia piped up from her seat. She wanted to know when the mud run was and wanted to make sure we were adding it to our bucket list. I was so surprised and so happy. I assured her that we were doing this family adventure again - the Kid's Obstacle Challenge!
Tony, Sophia, Stella and I had done the Kid's Obstacle Challenge for the past two years and loved this muddy, adventure filled obstacle course. Stella is our bold twin that loves climbing over the obstacles and has army crawled through the mud each year. Sophia is my sweet, shy twin that cautiously approaches adventure and uses her keen eye to navigate the course. As a family, we have had a blast each year and the girls have proudly worn their Kid's Obstacle Challenge medals. Each of my girls is able to go at their own pace an master the obstacles in ways that fit their personalities. Stella is climbing over fences and Sophia weaves her way through the challenge. It is awesome to watch and be a part of their brave adventure.
Family adventures matter! I love how we have created such fun memories during our past Kid's Obstacle Challenge races and how those moments have inspired my shy Sophia to be brave and seek out more adventures. This year we promised Stella that we all would do the army crawl in the mud! Stella and Sophia are already in ninja training mode at the park and we can't wait for the Kid's Obstacle Challenge in July! We hope you will come join us on the course!
Here are some tips!
Wear old shoes that you can donate or throw out.
Wear clothes that can get really, really muddy!
We bring a small backpack with water bottles. There is water on the course but it was really hot last year.
Bring your cell phone on the course, you will get great pictures! Be sure to have a case/waterproof cover since it is muddy!
There are hoses at the end of the race so you can get some of the mud off but bring towels too! We also bring a change of clothes for the girls!
Here are Kid's Obstacle Challenge details!
