Diego and Savannah have been friends for a very long time (since they were infants!) but they live far apart now. So when they get together they always try to do something a bit out of the simple sleepover/playdate style of meetup and try things that are a bit more exciting like snowboarding, bicycling, skateboarding, and of course a mud filled obstacle race! They are truly happy when they meet with one another, and their friendship hasn’t abated even a little bit.
As they get ready, they goof about with each other and remind one another why they are good friends…
What are these photos about?
Giving it all they can muster, the race begins. As they get to the first obstacles they begin to realize this wasn't going to be easy!
Besides the run itself, and the up and down muddy hills; they have to climb several obstacles. The masses of kids make it harder but doable, so far.
Diego loves Skulls, but I am not sure why!
All about the race, both Diego and Savannah were helping each other, pushing each other to go faster, climb better and take obstacles like the champions they are!
There are many more obstacles to overcome as they come to the end of the line, both Savannah and Diego faced them with grace and their will to be good runners!
…but along with the adrenaline of knowing you accomplish a lot in a short amount of time, comes the realization that you are covered in…. MUD!
