Family Fun Day

This past weekend we went to Rupert for Family Fun Day. It was the first year they have done this at Sunrise P River Ranch(that is Brock's families recreation place they run). It was so much fun, the whole community was invited. There were kids games and activities, Barn Idol competition(just like american idol), 5K race, 2-person challenge(obstacle course), the bumpy wagon was giving rides all day, a band playing for a barn dance that night. I was trying to decide whether I was going to run the 5K or compete in the 2-person challenge. Arriann really wanted to do the challenge but I have this problem, I really struggle with being on a team and knowing I let the other person down. But she convinced me that she wouldn't care. I knew I wouldn't be able to do both so I competed in the 2-person challenge! The challenge consisted of first kayaking in a 2 person kayake on the snake river around an island and back(just the men group had to do this part) Then there is a obstacle course you and your partner have to complete by putting boards on top of railroad ties and walking across, then lift it back up with out letting it touch the ground and you keep doing this until you make it to the end , then you continue to walk a pipe balance beam, on to the swinging rings(like monkey bars) to cross, then the big wall you pull your body up and over climbing a rope, then on to pushing your partner in a wheelbarrow and finally walking these 2 person wooden skiis. It was pretty intense. I can proudly say that Arriann and I took 1st place for the co-ed division and Brock and his brother Skye took 1st place for the men division. Although, I do have to add Brock and Skye beat all the other men teams by 4 min. They had the same time as Arriann and I and we didn't even do the Kayake part. They were pretty quick!! Do I look tough? That is what I was going for, but I think I might look a little mean and crazy. Here are the 2 winning teams in our shirts and medals we won! Here is Barry with his medal, it was huge and very heavy. He got the medal for making this great day happen. As you can see he is showing us it is real!! He and Rexanne and many others put a lot of work into this day. We appreciate it lots. We had a great time.Grandpa got all the kids T-shirts too. Aspen loves to stick out her bum, she does it all the time. I am a little worried for when she gets older. Barry built this wagon called the Wiggy wagon or the bumpy wagon. It is a huge hit with the kids. This weekend was the first time I ever rode on it. I couldn't stop laughing, I was catching air, that is how much you bump. Rexanne had the idea of putting all her grandkids hand prints on the side with their ages, it turned out really cute. Here are the boys, in this seat you bump but nothing like riding in the back. Here are the kids and the girls. Thank goodness for the mattress we are sitting on!! It is such a fun ride.
