I LOVE All The Orphans In The Whole World

He's at it again.
But this time it was for the children. Jacob ran in a race last weekend called Hurdle For Hope that raised money for an orphanage in Ecuador. The track he had to run was a 3 mile obstacle course. (You have to look at the proofs because we were not going to pay $5 for each picture even if it was for the orphans.)

The race included a very long tire run. Its hard to see Jacob, but he is there.

A fire jump.Pond swimming... Actually this is a campground that was flooded from all the snowfall and rain this year and smelled like an outhouse for ducks. Jacob is the one jumping in.There were also hay bails to jump over, an army crawl under some ropes, tunnels to crawl through, actual hurdles to jump over and no obstacle for orphans is complete with out a huge mud pit.No picture of Jacob for the mud pit. But the tutu girls were funny. I don't think they had any idea what they were getting themselves into.

At the end they slid through a slip n' slide that was soapy at the beginning but at this point it just looks like more mud to roll in.Here is Jacob, smelly, wet and dirty.And here are his dirty socks that will probably be thrown away.I am pretty sure Jacob would have done this even if it wasn't for the orphans. He had so much fun! I was disappointed that no one thought to dress up like Nacho Libre.

I totally thought about doing the 3K on that race ..... but couldn't get over the words obstacle course and mud to be motivated enough to do it. No way. But way to go Jacob!
