What does an amazingly good 29 hours and 38 minutes consist of?

A very well made list that has been made, remade, cross checked and emailed to 10 more friends...

Thank you for being as crazy as me gift boxes :)...

Fabulous "party favors"

A beautiful setting... all be it a little hilly shall we say...

Two 12 passenger vans crammed full of way too many things, but what if we need that kitchen sink!!!!

some great art skills, and some perfect friends

And of course a beauty queen wave or two  :)
Our party favors in action....
Some quite stellar hand offs of the slap bracelet (we are all girls of course we know how to share jewelry flawlessly) 
Some passing waves...
A few new friends....
some favorites for the birthday girl all wrapped into one 
Those hills took us all the way to the north 40...

of course 29 perfect hours would include a birthday cake on fire at the end of your first leg...
Catching a few zzzzz's in any pretzel type shape you can get yourself into...

A van with a few extra large but very fashionable purses....
A friend willing to drive her 10 craziest running friends the long way from San Antonio to Austin
Some headlamps, LED's, reflective vests

a few too many of these.... 




Blogging from the road of course....

Pure joy in our smiles after our last legs


Only one missed turn sign while dodging the car trying to hit her and 1 whole extra mile straight up another hill....







a finish line that cam 180ish miles later

it has to include a cattle incident form.... 














laughs at how many girls does it take to wash off the windows?.... 


and pulling into the driveway at 11:48 pm saturday night to this....



Great job to all of you moms!  Thank you for giving me the best 29 and a half hours I have had in a while!  See you all same time and place next year?  I will be there!  and we can be 'Still running from the kids!'

Running from the Kids,

You gals are awesome! I'm from CTR's - Chicks that Run. It was so great to "Ragnar" with you. What a great group of ladies. If you hadn't been short 2 runners you would have taken first. Next year you'll be all over us! Keep up with the runs, good luck with the kids!

Oh Erin! I am SO EXCITED to run Wasatch Back with you! There is nothing like this race and I can't wait to do it again. Your pictures brought all the awesome memories back again. We are going to have a blast!

Three cheers for Mommies Got Back!

And we MUST have Tutus!
