Adventure Racing--Take 1!

We went to Mobile 2 weeks ago for Bear to do his first Adventure race. It consisted of a 3 man team starting at the Moblie Battleship with thier bikes, given a map and said "Go!" They had to bike a total of 13 miles, run 8 miles, and canoe 4 miles all while accomplishing tasks, puzzles, and checkpoints--think Amazing Race.
The kids and I hung out in the hotal until closer towards the end because I wasnt sure how I would do it handling both of them in public alone so I only have a few pictures of the canoeing and when they finished canoeing they had to get on the Battleship where they had 15 checkpoints they had to find. They loved it, even the canoeing after flipping twice and having an alligator come within 30 ft of the canoe! They have signed up to do another one in Baton Rouge in July!



Not sure why I was worried having both of them....they ended up falling asleep for over an hour while we were on the pier watching the canoeing! Thanks for the stroller Casey!!
