Spartan Family

We believe children learn best by mimicking what they see around them. That is why it is so important to model the behavior you wish your children to develop. From simply using polite, respectful language instead of forcing "please", "thank-you", etc, to a healthy lifestyle. We like to do activities that we can not only do as a family but that our children will be able to continue into their adult lives. 

We have started doing obstacle and multi-sport races. We can train everyday, together and we can find races that include a kids race. Yesterday we all lost our sparkle at our first Spartan race. 


The day is finally here! We are all so excited. Scout is more excited then the night before Christmas!


And she's off...1/4 mile up hill to start  , then back down.

She does it all on her own.
 
 







A little Spartan help.


Oh yeah, she's rockin the same course as the big kids!

No fear ! Get to the finish!!

So proud of my little Spartan Chick!!


But wait....Mom and Dad are up next!


"I am Spartan"
 

GO TIME!
 







 We did it...together. We trained together and raced together and finished together...as a family. 

We're not stopping now...already signed up for 3 more races. Will we see YOU out there?!
