Mud Run & Wildcat Football Opener

Please ignore that this post is 6 weeks late. UGH! I can't believe I don't have any posts in September 2018.  No excuses, because this month has been busier than last month!  

Any who, on with the show...

September 8th was a busy, fun-filled day here in Naples!

First up: The Mud Run. Camden and Keller were in one of the first heats

 Madison, Caitlyn, Emma, and Star were in the 2nd heat

 Camden is losing his shoe as I'm snapping this picture

 That didn't slow him down! 

 By the time they got to me again, he has lost the other shoe! :)

Emma and Madison

After a quick shower, we were off to the Support Site for the season opener of Wildcat football!

We flew in and out of Cedar Rapids, so we drove back to the East side of the state the day before we left.
