Dirty Dash

This year we did the 1st race for the Dirty Dash. Christy and Blake did it with us as well as our friends, Dave and Todd. We had sooo much fun. It is our favorite race and will become an annual tradition for us. The race starts by running up a hill that has been soaked all night with big sprinklers, basicly a mud hill. Then we run through a snow blower, hurdle hay bales, crawl through tubes, climb over walls with mud and manure, jump though tires, run a 1/2 mile through basiclly a swamp, and finish with a 150 ft water slide and a jump into the pig pen. We were covered in mud head to toe and loved every minute. The kids did the piglet plunge as well, which was a mile run. They started at the same place and by the time they started the mud went up to your shins all the way up the hill, ran to the waterslide and jumped in the pig pen, which was now all mud, no water. They had a blast too, well up until they had to wash off. All we could see of Kelsi was her teeth chattering!
