muddaggedon with mikayla

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!

mt was superexcited that his beloved anna came to watch him play t-ball.
 
 
 
it took me a minute to realize what mt meant when he said he was the “vampire” while samuel hit the baseball
 
 
kayaking on the gulf with my best girl. we had an awesome time singing jmm’s dress us up as we paddled. especially the lines, where deep meets deep like the ocean meets the sky …
