He is tough enough

Erik earned tons of manly points this weekend by completing the Tough Mudder. He did this as part of the annual "man trip" with his friends. The Tough Mudder is a 10-12 mile course with 22 obstacles. The obstacles are challenging and filled with mud. It seems like boot camp. 

Erik loved it! He said it was more fun than the triathlon. We are planning on doing it next year together.

A bruise from his tough mudder
 He had a great time this weekend even though he has a few bruises and scrapes. Those are scars of manliness!

While Daddy was gone, Jenna and  Sarah drew pictures on the whiteboard. I though it was cute when Sarah drew a picture of Joel (the J is backwards). It says "A Joel".

The tough mudder looks challenging and fun. But I clearly would need to work up endurance to participate.

Kudos to Sarah, she got Joel's arm to head ratio just about right!! :)

You and Becca can join us next year. Just fly out here for the tough mudder!! I hadn't thought about the arm to head ratio. I think you are right :)

Clearly I need to stop over to the blog more often: Dave beat me to the headsize joke....
