kk’s first obstacle race courtesy of big daddy.

adrianne went with us and took pics along the way!

mikayla was really excited to start the race and get dirty!

the first obstacle was jumping into a muddy water pit. pretty cold, but lots of fun!

mikayla was awesome crossing the pond!

she did great swimming across the lake too!

the tunnels were cold, but fun. mikayla wasn't sure what to think about them though!

conquering the walls

and the balance beam

 it was a great experience together!

we did it! kk conquered all 15 obstacles like a champ. a great way to celebrate mother’s day weekend!
