current team lost in space

(with a friendly rival)

a bit older and wiser

after our many years

spent in the stratosphere

as we

got ready

to begin

the amazing race

an action-adventure

road rally

scavenger hunt

charity event

in support of the

cancer support community

of ann arbor

and we were all over it

 convincing a dog to wear a crown for us

running through the law quad on central campus

in the middle of graduation and a wedding

IMG_0635

figuring out morse code

pictograms

word puzzles

scrambles

using clues

pushing the legal limits

to find places all around town

all in four hours

IMG_0632

and there were

moments of passion

and high energy

and we became

‘very spirited’

and

had to

make a video

perform a song

complete stunts

unusual tasks

try not to get arrested

solve mysteries

as a team

IMG_0627

each with our own strengths

and challenges

and

 we came in

27th out of 35 teams

on our path

IMG_0634

it was all great fun

 as a group of longtime friends

who’ve traveled through time with each other

we learned a lot

about each other

the spirit of adventure

and

the power of giving

and

i was so glad

we didn’t have to

eat any bugs.

  12. I am so proud of your squad for beating out eight others and raising money for the Cancer Support Community, Beth! That looks like a perfect endeavor for longtime friends. You driving with the birthday party hat on is pretty precious. Better than the dog crown, even! No arrests. Phew!! Happy day, indeed, Lost in Space adventurers. <3

  15. I thoroughly enjoyed (vicariously) going into the great beyond with your Lost in Space pals, Beth! You look fantastic in the photos, by the way. You look exuberant, healthy and happy. I like your trying to crown a dog, glad you didn’t have to eat any bugs and challenging your brains together to get through a type of Morse code, all for Charity! Yeah! and you did not come in last place! Yeah, again!!
