Ash Kicker

Papa entered the Ash Kicker 5K Adventure Run today and had a great time. He finished in 52 minutes, which he was happy with since he had to wait to go down the water slide and was also slowed down by helping a couple of girls he was running with over some obstacles. Auna, Laury and David came to watch, and David ended up helping out at the slide since the plastic kept separating and people were getting hung up on it. I was really worried about the slide, since everyone was going down it so fast and almost getting hurt.

Papa actually turned all the way around and was going down backward, then ended up walking down the rest of it since the plastic came apart and they had to straighten it out and get the water flowing again. Later the slide was closed for awhile for repair. The girl that went down in front of him had banged up her leg pretty badly.

Papa was surprised when he got to the finish line and there were Charb, Kelly, Luke and the girls waiting for him. Ava went to a sweaty, wet and muddy Papa, but Harper didn't want anything to do with him.

Luke tried out the obstacle course bounce house for the kids several times, trying to go faster each time.

Gabe also did the race with a team from J.H.Kelly, finishing in 30 minutes. He said it was a lot harder than he thought it would be.
