Third Annual Dragon Boat Race

This past weekend was the third annual Dragon boat Race on Mud Island. Last year my husbands company participated for the first time and I was too chicken to race.
This year I joined him, brought my sister and my friend Emily! 
There 49 teams total and we placed 25. Haha not wonderful but I'll take it!!
The purpose of the race is to raise money for clean water in the state of Tennessee.
It's a part of the ten clean water network which fights pollution in Tennessee. 

Such a neat cause being right there on the mighty Mississippi!
If you follow along on Instagram you may have seen one or two of these! 
They added a lot of fun things for the kids this year!

Our first heat was not so hot but our second heat we improved our time by 6 seconds!!!
The team before our first heat.
Emily and her precious baby bump! 
Connor was Soo worn out by 3 pm he fell asleep in his seat... Not attached to the stroller! 
And... This picture sums up why I need to loose weight! Two kids in two years and lots of iccee's really did me in! 

More on weight loss journey later.

By 3 we were whooped and so glad to head home and rest! 

Can't wait for next year!
