#TBT to that time last month we did the CHaD!
I decided to do some blog cleanup today and remove a few things from the sidebar. Of course, that reminded me that I never wrote a blog post about the CHaD hike. Silly me! This year was less fun than past years, which maybe is why I didn’t enthusiastically rush home and do a post. Alan ran the 5K with a still-recovering calf muscle, and the kids and I did the 10k hike with Rosy. It was snowing in the morning on the way there, but the snow cleared and the sun came out. They change the hike route a bit, without any useful signage, so we were a bit confused along the way and we all agreed that the new route is much hillier! They have also been upping the registration fee and minimum donation amounts each year, and it’s getting pretty pricey for a family of four! I think they’re shooting themselves in the foot a bit and pricing out some families who have been loyal participants. I know a few who didn’t participate this year and we are unlikely to do it next year. I was thinking a nice check to Team Brady would be much easier and more enjoyable for most of us. :)
Anyway, we did it and I have the photos to prove it! (well, photos to prove Rosy, Eve, and Lex did it anyway ;) )
Eve loved the obstacle course before the hike.
She gets some good air!
It ended up being a beautiful day, once the snow blizzard passed.
This tree root provided a lovely spot to rest.
We even did some trail clearing along the way!
that adorable vest, and your little Yoga pants! you guys look awesome. Tessa, Im POSITVE Rose has tons of photos to share with you, shes sweet like that. I didnt even see Eve in those first couple pictures until i enlarged them and zoomed in, there was so much in the backdrop and her bright colors and flowery pants. what an animal. I love it!
Thats a bummer about pricing…. do all entry fees AND donations go to donations…. maybe just up one and leave the rest alone… bummer. I hope they figure it out.
