Lake Charles Adventure Race

This past weekend, we went to Lake Charles for our third adventure race of the year. It was at Sam Houston State Park, and it was soooooo much fun. The park was gorgeous...truly a beautiful picture of Louisiana scenery at its best. Nathan raced with Furlow and Lance Lopez, and they had a GREAT time together. After this race, they have decided to do the entire series next year. Nathan and Furlow have been running everyday, trying to get their times down, and I'm just having a good time watching. ;) On to the pictures....

This is at the first mystery event...the real mystery was trying to figure out where Damon was. :)
Yay, he was found!!!
Our boys racing in....
Sweet Stella having a jolly time with the twins...

My favorite picture of Scarlett in adventure racing history!! She is always SO pleasant during the race, much unlike the boys. Way to keep smiling, Scar. :)

Our boys back and ready to go to the next checkpoint...notice there are no smiles. I don't even think they knew I was there.
The next mystery event...they had to get water from the river and dump it in a bucket without touching the ropes. I think our bucket got dumped twice for accidentally touching the rope. There were some VERY eager judges there on Saturday. :)
Pourciaus and Kirk getting their water....

The two teams crossing one another....

Off to canoe!

Back at the camper in the cool air conditioning....isn't she so pretty???

I don't have any from the end of the race, but needless to say, it was a great day! Sorry I don't have any of Sadie and Rylie...they will be back soon! :)
