Go Daddy's Go! Go Daddy's Go!

This morning the K-Family and us cheered on our Daddy's (Jason and Kurt) as they participated in the Competition Division of the Three Alarm Adventure Race! This was a last minute (earlier last week) decision to participate when a team of 4 came together for them! It was a four hour race including running, canoeing, orienteering, cycling, swimming and snowshoeing around our City. How exhausting, hey?! But they did AMAZING!!

Dana and her Girls (Danika, Alise and Makenna) and I with my clan went to some of the different spots to watch them and cheer them on! Next year we plan to have maybe a team colour with matching shirts and so on... but this year it all came together at the last minute that we didn't really know if we'd even be going to watch (it was supposed to be a rainy day, but the storm came through last night and today was pretty perfect for the race).

Here's the first leg. After running from R.Stadium to Mill Lake - here they come! they jumped into a canoe and had 5 spots around this man-made lake where they had to find something in order to have the final clue word of "alphalpha" when they returned to shore:when they left the lake and headed into some trails, we played around a bit still and looked at the goslings. All of our kids did amazing today jumping in and out of the vehicle and following our Daddy's around - here's Danika, Elijah and Alise
Then we went back to R.Stadium where they were headed back to via trails and check in points along the way... since we weren't as prepared as we would have liked to be, these signs were all we made: we were cheering them on (their team name was Survivors - how fitting! Jason and Kurt could soooo be on that show OR they actually talk about going on Mantracker - I can see that happening in the future, for sure!) as they had to push this Fire Truckthen run over and put on a firefighter suit and run with the hose and spray a target...then they ran over to the rec center... they did some snowshoeing in the rink - but we didn't realize they were in there so we missed that - we saw them in the pool, where each team member had to do 6 lengths. Here Jason is just jumping in for his turn as Kurt, in the water, is just finishing up his 3 laps:then they ran back to the stadium and geared up on their bikes for some cycling and orienteering in D.Bowl. At this point we went to Dana's for a yummy, quick lunch (Thanks Dana!) - and got back in time to see The Survivor's arrive and finish the race!here's the team; they each won a pass to go White Water River Rafting (maybe I can go too!):and best friends:and our kids playing so nicely together!CONGRATS KURT and JASON for a job well done! We are SO proud of you!! :) We look forward to next year now!
