For Christmas, Bree gave us the raddest present of all time! We opened buffs, and a personalized Amazing Race game for us to do around where we live! Honestly…it could not be a more perfect present for us! We waited until we had a free day to take the race on…and today was the day!
We fairly picked teams — it was Mom with the boys, and Dad with the girls. I was excited, but the stinking kids all thought dad would win..so I got a few grumbles. We then got our buffs — we were team yellow. The losers were team red. Then Micah opened the box up, and we got our set of clues.
Scout, Dash and I tried to figure out clues along the way to Harbor House — which we solved really fast.
Each location, we had to take a picture or video. WE solved the rest of our clues, and made a huge circle around Dana Point and the surrounding areas. We ran down to Salt Creek, we stopped at the Denison’s current and old house. We were on FIRE! Then we had to go to my house on Morning Dove. The guards at the gates are gnarly — and this is how we KNEW we would win!!! I took the back entrance, and knew enough to talk myself in. UNTIL…I happened upon the crabbiest lady on earth! I finally ditched her, and drove to the front gate and got right in. We lost a little time, but there was no way they got in as easily. The final destination, after every other clue was complete, was Basking Robbins (Micah’s first job) — where Bree gave us $20 to spend. We were so pumped up on our win!!!
AND THEN….we turned the corner into the parking lot…only to see Micah’s stupid car parked in front of the ice cream shop.
We were dying.
And the cherry on top (pardon the pun), was that they were already sitting and licking. Micah was so proud, as the girls bragged up a stinking storm! Micah told me he had called the Jordans to get into Bear Brand, and they called him right in. Are you kidding me!!! And that grouchy lady was the difference maker.
As we drove off, Micah had “We are the Champions” blasting on his radio, while the girls snag it loud and proud. Poor Dash, who got caught in the wrong car!

Thanks Bree.
It was a total blast!
