Mighty Mud Mania 2010

She wasn't really thrilled at this point to be in the mud

After she had ran the race and was hosed off by Fire dept.

This is the last mud whole of the obstacle course!

June 19th in Scottsdale at a park not far from our house was MIGHTY MUD MANIA!

It is an annual event that is extremely popular for kids from 1 to 17. Megan and I have wanted to go every year but it was always held on a week day, and this year they held it on a weekend and we were able to go.

It usually draws 10,000 to 12,000 people.

It started at 8:30am.

We got there about 8am, Megan was the 3rd 9 yr old in line. They had the kids separated by ages. 7 and up could run the obstacle course. they grouped them as 7&8yrs, 9&10 yr olds, and then the rest.

The only bummer about being the 2nd set of kids to run the course was the mud was too firm, but Megan had a blast and came in 3rd.

They had a big mud pit for the kids to play in check out more pictures form the event at www.flickr.com/photos/ninjas

Megan lasted 5 minutes in the pit and was done. She didn't like mud in her shoes, and she was cold.

So we took her to get her hosed off by the fire dept so we could even put her in our car. She didn't like that because the water was cold.

We finally got her clean enough and we were home by 9:15am. I was kind of thrilled because I had no sleep the night before but I would have liked to stuck around took pictures and checked out all the booths they had set up. I would like to go back next year but I have a feeling Megan won't want to play in mud next year at all because she will be too concerned about her hair or boys or something.

Oh well we had fun!
