Dirty dash.

The day started out clean enough. Elijah got a little pig tattoo as his entrance ticket to the kids version of the Dirty Dash (My favorite description of it is a race that "converts boy to man and then... man to swine."), the Piglet Plunge. Its about a mile long race/reason to run through the mud.
Start!
Elijah getting his first taste of the mud. It started out as fun...
And got more fun.

While waiting in line for the slip and slide, elijah decided to explore the mountainside. And who wouldnt! Look at those autumn colors.

Ultimately, we skipped the slip and slide because the line was FOR ever, but they jumped back in at the bottom of it to continue the race! if you really want to call it that. I'd say it was just an excuse for kids to get dirrrty and take pictures.
Not so fun at this point. Elijah wasnt sure how to handle being all dirty.
Mud. Pit.

Luckily, they had a shower station set up, because this was the end result of the race.
I had some videos, but for some reason, i cant upload any right now. sorry.
