Partners in Grime!

Our wonderful friend - Gladys Tortal Griggs (she's the one who introduced Dale & I...) convinced me to do a MUDDY BUDDY with her in Atlanta, Georgia last weekend!

What is a Muddy Buddy? Well... it's a 6-7 mile course and 5 obstacles. At the start of the race, one team member runs and one will ride the bike. At the 1st obstacle, the rider drops the bike, completes the obstacle, and begins running. The runner will arrive, complete the obstacle, find their bike, and begin riding. Teams continue leapfrogging each other through the entire course. At the end of the race, racers will crawl through the infamous Mud Pit crossing the finish line together!

It rained most of the time which I didn't mind because it kept us cool throughout the race! The rain also made the course quite slippery and some of those steep hills were pretty intimidating on a bike! But overall, it was a great experience and I'm happy that GLAD convinced me to do it with her. THANKS GLAD!

... it was GREAT watching our kids run the MINI-MUDDY! Parents encouraging & cheering their kids to roll in the mud, get dirty and have fun... IT WAS AN AWESOME DAY!

The slideshow (above) will show our pictures from our weekend trip to Atlanta, GA. Once again, it was a full weekend of fun! Not only did we complete our MUDDY BUDDY... we also toured Inside CNN (Cable News Network ) Headquarters... walked around the city... viewed beautiful homes... and reunited with an old classmate of mine from Blue Mountain Academy. Dave Ennis & his family!

You'll notice that Mia was not in any of these photos... it was our first weekend away from our baby girl. She stayed with my parents!!! She probably didn't even miss us... but we sure missed her!
