So I’m running out of time and wanted to just throw up some random pictures from my time at home. Here are a few (in no particular order):
The Fam being goofy...
Surprised Lance in Montana 🙂
Sister time at Glacier National Park
Broadway with Alejandra in NY
Mother's Day picnic in the park!
My family had a quick little retreat to the ocean while I was home. The ocean is one of our favorite places to escape to and we found a great place to hide away! We stayed in a little home not far from ocean shores.
Modified bocce ball on the beach
Riding a bike... an invisible one in the air...
We basically played around on the beach, played board games, swam in the pool, went shopping, soaked in the hot tub, watched movies, and went for walks. It was wonderful. I have the most amazing family ever and we always enjoy our time together.
Doesn't everybody play Guess Who at the beach?
Happy as a clam on the beach!
My crazy family decided to just get a little bit more crazy and do a mud run together. I really don’t know how we ended up dong this together. I think it started with my sisters wanting to do it, then my dad thought he would too, then my mom thought ‘hey I don’t want to get left out,’ then it was ‘oh Megan will be home in time for it’ and finally we all realized lance would be around too. So we all crammed into one car packed with water, plastic bags and old grubby blankets.
This Survivor Mud Run was at Remlinger Farms in Carnation. It was 3.47 miles filled with crazy obstacles. To see some of the obstacles you can go to the official website and look at Florida’s race, which is set up the same as the one in WA. Our wave left at 10, but we snuck in earlier 🙂
Only the tough survive
I had no idea what to really expect, would there be a bunch of mud or was it just a fake out? I am not a runner contrary to how I look. I survived just like it advertises! At first it wasn’t too bad, run through a little pit of mud, then we had to get down on our hands and knees and crawl through a pipe! I thought “seriously?” It was all down hill from there. My favorites were running through a drainage ditch, sliding down hills of mud and wallowing through mud pits.
What a fine mud mohawk you have!
We all stuck together and finished as one family. Lance enjoyed sliding through the finish line on his stomach. There was a freezing cold shower available, I think the water was pumped from the snow fed river… We could only get semi-clean before we piled back into the car and drove home for a hot shower!
One happy muddy family
Here is a video a friend made about the destruction of our little building at the YWAM base in Ukraine. This little building was our kitchen, dining room, and office. It was getting really old, moldy, musty, and the water broke this winter… so it was time for it to go. We are making way for a new building project that will house more bedrooms and classrooms! Yeah!
FYI- I am returning to Ukraine in a week!
I just wanted to add a few pictures from our short day trip to Glacier National Park while we were in Montana.
Beautiful scenery and great company
Near the water's edge
In awe of mountains and rivers
Peaceful woods
I am always so amazed at God’s creation! We are surrounded by beauty!
