The contest began with 20 women competing in an inflatable obstacle course. We went 2 at a time, and out of 20, the top 4 fastest times advanced. After urdling our body through a small hole, we climbed up a 6 foot "rock wall", jumped down 6 feet on the other side, squeezed under a 6-inch gap while pushing inflated plastic out of the way, run through a small winding tunner. climb a 12-foot rock wall, and slide down a huge slide. I was #6 or 7, so not quite fast enough that day! The top 4 then went on to a small basketball court, where they had to shoot hoops while wearing oven mitts. From there, the top 2 had a tug-of-war that determined the final winner, so the contest operators narrowed it down in a hurry!
Ben brought the camera, but he is not as crazy of a picture-taker as I, and we got one shot with "big Buddha"...a famous local news personality. I am in that crowd of girls there, with a pony tail. (the short one, lol)
Aside from not winning the large playground, all contestants were given a birthday party at this fun place...valued at over $200...we can bring in 15 children, and they give them pizza and everything! so...that wil be fun whenever we decide to use it.
so, thank you again for all of the support - it was a great experience to get the kids up at 5am and root for mom....we needed some more family bonding time!. it did get to be a long day, as evidenced late that afternoon when emme began a question with "remember yesterday, when we did that backyard adventure thing...?" I had to remind her, "No, honey, that was today".
