Busy weekend.. Zombies, Color, MP3, and BMX.

The last 24 hours has been pretty Amazing. It’s going to be hard to beat this run of events. We did a Zombie walk last night with Makeup (Rockwell was feeling sick and did not want to go), we did the color run this morning, We did a “Improve Everywhere” MP3 Experiment this afternoon at 6pm, and then we went to the BMX track and competed there till quarter to nine. Great timing of events.. It was Awesome!


Zombies! We actually found a place down town that would put zombie makeup on for cheap! I should have had more done for what they where charging.. students learning makeup techniques i guess.

We ended the night with some BMX. Melinda and Hannah’s race. This is the race where Hannah, Melinda’s friend, took a pretty nasty spill. Scraped up her hand, her elbow, her side and her knee.. but she STILL finished!! No one can say these girls are not tough!!

One of Rockwell’s heats. This was the very first race he used clips on his pedals. In the final heat he took a pretty nasty crash.. I think melinda was wondering it came in three’s at this point!! Everyone was OK in the end.

Color Run this morning!

Hannah and I did the Augusta Color Run (5k) this morning. It was more an event, than a race.. I really don’t think they even timed it. Every kilometer they threw a different color of, what I am assuming is tempera paint, on you. At the end of the race, there is a celebration party area, where you can listen to music and people doing stuff up on a stage, and participate in the color throws, where they give you packets of powder to throw.

In the middle of the race, we stopped at the clubhouse and took a picture with our friend Grace. Unfortunately her husband couldn’t be in the picture.. he was taking it. 🙂
