2012 Pulvers Amazing Race

 Its that time of year again when we have our annual Amazing Race and every year I remember why I only do it once a year.  
Here are the participants this year.
These were the stops/tasks this year:
South Africa: Splash park - Use your bandanas to fill up water bottles.
Venice: River - Cross the river to find team colored flags.
Roadblock: Friends house - Swallow two raw eggs.  (I do have video of this)
Native America: Take a picture of Kokopelli with your whole group.
Antarctica: Bunkerville Park - Get 6 team colored rocks from a cooler of ice water.
Australia: Church Pavillion - complete a crossword about Australia.
Detour: High School Football Field - Kick two field goals or throw 5 passes through a rung in a ladder.
Stonehenge: Hospital - Find team colors under rocks.
Most memorable moments of this year:
1) Venice task was held right next to a homeless mans shelter. 
2) Robbs team could not figure out how the other teams were knowing where to go from the clues.  They almost quit.  They just werent looking ON THE FRONT OF THE ENVELOPES.
Notes to next years contestants:
1) Dont ride in the same vehicle as Robb or you might have a fear of white vans for the rest of your life.
2) Dont ever play against the Chief of Police, or you might get pulled over by one of his minions in order for him to win.  Sorry, Shannon.
Overall, it was fun. 
 I want to thank Heather Everitt for all her help.
See ya again next year!

Wyoming Summer

Thanks to Uncle Bill, Jazz and Bobby were able to go to Wyoming for two weeks.  
Thank you for taking pictures Jazz.
 The beginning of the bonding.  They both love flying.

The kids and Uncle Bill.
Uncle Bills "kids."  They had a super time together.
Floating down the river in Thermop.
Cousins. . .
Cousins and friends.
Porcupine Falls.  I love this place.
More friends.
They had so much fun seeing old friends.  The kids were also able to see my mom, dad and Kymbre, but Jazz didnt get any pictures.  My mom and Jazz have such a close close relationship. They were both balling when they said their goodbyes.  
Thanks Uncle Bill!

Muddin It

We have friends who havent yet finished their backyard, so we decided to take advantage and play us some mud volleyball.  We've done it these past two weekends.  

We kept hitting it over the fence into the neighbors yard and got tired of jumping the fence, so we improvised. Thank goodness, neighbors were not home.  Won't they be surprised when they come back to muddy footprints all over their beautiful backyard.
This is Robb after playing tonight.
And this is me. 
Sorry, folks.  Not even a little bit of athletic aggression in these bones.  I know it frustrates Robb because he is so opposite.  Sorry, Babe. There are some things Im good at and some Im not so good at, and some things I just dont care to be good at. I have my talents. Sports just isnt one of them.
