California

Brandon and I went took a trip to California this weekend. Ellie spent a fun weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Rowley (thank you!). We stayed at my brother Todd's house in Temecula. We had such a fun trip and LOVED the California weather!

Lunch at Rubio's


RACE DAY!


The Mud Run was more fun than we ever could have imagined. We ran it as a team.. we laughed a lot... helped eachother throught the obstacles (especially the mud walls!) and got VERY muddy!


Before.....

Gearing ourselves up for the big race.....
So we didn't find out until the day before the race that you have to duck tape your shoes to your legs or your shoes would fall off in the mud! That made me a bit nervous about the intensity of the course!
The final stretch Finishing!

After.... Celebrating at Pinkberry's after the race
Family smores around the firepit

Holy cow that looks like a big mess! I'm sure it was a lot of fun! And lucky for you to have grandparents nearby for a little getaway.

Debbie, it was so great to see Brandon at church yesterday! Wish you would have come out with him and brought beautiful Ellie (who has changed SO MUCH in the last year!) Now that I know where your blog is, it will be great to check in.

Life in Washington sounds great, but we still miss you here in CT.

Keep in Touch!
