Dirty Dash 2011

Aaron, Bennett, Lincoln, Ivan, and Jeremiah before the Piglet Plunge

We did the Dirty Dash again this year. Aaron's brother-in-law Rob ran the 10k, and then Aaron and Rob ran with the kids in the Piglet Plunge. It was a blast having the Bailey's stay with us for the weekend. My kids loved having two of there cousins to hang out with. Lincoln's been walking around all day saying, "Wanna hear what Bennett taught me to say? 'Zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket!' Haha! Isn't that kind of funny? Bennett taught me that."

Rob ran in the tuxedo from his wedding. Lincoln wore goggles and an old school life vest, Ivan wore a little golfer outfit, Bennett wore a ninja costume, Jeremiah had a snorkel mask and boots, and Aaron wore one of my maternity t-shirts and a safari hat (he looked gross).

Aaron's brother Ryan and Ryan's wife Melissa are the owners of Flo Foto, the photography company that takes all the pictures for the Dirty Dash. Aaron is the one who does their website flo-foto.com. If you go to the page, and watch the slide show that's in the middle on the bottom, you'll see a picture of Lincoln at last year's Dirty Dash, I think he's the 3rd or 4th picture in.

Lincoln was not a fan of the giant water slide. Melissa ran down to shoot pictures of the kiddos.

 Ivan, Aaron, and Lincoln after the slide on their way to the mud pit.

The mud pit. Lincoln said it was cold.

Some of my favorite shots of the day:

 Lincoln coming out of the mud pit.

 I handed Adelia to Aaron at the very end, when they were in line for pictures. She wasn't very sure about being in on the mud action.

 Mud Monster!

 I told Ivan to say "Cheese!" but instead he yelled NOOOOO! At the top of his lungs. 

 Ryan is hard at work taking pictures in the studio.

 "Not happy Bob, not happy."

 Can you see the goggle lines?

 Ivan's golfer outfit just cracks me right up. I love it. Especially the hat.

 Jeremiah after the mud pit.

 Happy, muddy baby.

One more shot of the golfer out fit. Love it!

Sooner or later we'll get the professional pictures that Ryan and Melissa took. They'll be awesome. I'll post them when I get them. I think the kids had fun, even though not a one of them would admit it. Once the memory of the ice cold showers at the end wears off, I'm sure they'll want to do it again next year.
