CitySolve Urban Race

Saturday morning brought what was supposed to be Bishop's last football game. But there was one rained out game, so it was technically their 2nd to last game.......and it got rained out too, but not before we got there to run around for 5 minutes and get medals! :) It was just Bishop and one kid from the other team. They had fun for the 5 minutes we were there and then we packed up and I headed to the CitySolve Urban Race.  Everything actually worked out perfectly for me! I was feeling guilty for having to miss another game (or the end of it, especially the medals) and I ended up getting the best of both worlds!

Hanging out under the umbrellas!

Pretty Excited about his medal!

Anna, Michelle, Brandi and I participated in the CitySolve Urban Race on Saturday! We really had no idea what to expect and I was concerned that it was going to be a lot of trivia....and I wouldn't have much to offer! ;) It ended up being an absolute blast and we finished in 2nd place!!! We couldn't believe it! We had fun, ran a lot, figured out puzzles and where to go and came in as the 2nd team!  It was like The Amazing Race on a smaller scale (just in Mpls). We could use public transportation (bus or light rail) and run.  It was the first day the Green Line was open (from Mpls to St. Paul) and it worked out in our favor, as we had to go to the East Bank of the U for a couple of clues! It was a super fun day with these girls........

There was a costume contest and while we didn't enter that--we had fun in our colored wigs--and a lot of people liked them and asked to take our picture throughout the day! :)

It ended at Cowboy Jack's and we all took a ride on the Bull! Let's just say I think we were all a little sore from all the running and then riding of the bull!

I don't think anyone got a picture of me....but they got a video!! Yikes!

Luke brought the kids up Cold Spring and they had a blast with his parents. They went to a petting zoo/farm and saw a bunch of animals....and went down a big slide! Anna had to take off, but the guys met us out and we had a fun time relaxing together that night!

I have a feeling we'll be competing in the CitySolve race again--but next time there's pressure!!
