The next day we got started on our new year wishes of health, well being and fun by playing tennis!:

Lizzy and Rachel played each other while Mom and Dad played each other on the adjacent court.
Winner plays Dad.

Mom and Rachel played on the other court.

It was a very competitive game!

A fun-filled action packed family activity to start off the new year!

Today we decided toto have a family fun activity mountain biking on a trail on a beautiful day in Turkey Creek Preserve:

Helmets on a ready to go!

Halfway through and Mom and Dad are leaving us in the dust!

Rest break!

The water is low, but it is still pretty as the sun is setting:

We visited “Mom’s Tree” the big oak that died when the flooding took her out last year.

Dad started climbing right away.
Lizzy rested!
Not for long. . . time to climb!
Rachel joined them too!
Higher and higher!
Jumping down . . . it’s a bit of scary!
Chillin’ in the tree.

We came back on the roads from the back entrance to the preserve. Mom raced back first, then Lizzy:

Tired!

That was a fun and tiring adventure!

We went to the temple with the youth. It was a chilly day but the temple is the best place to be!

Mom discovered a local park that has a military/Ninja Warrior obstacle course. So we went to Reserve Park for some more family fun adventuring:

Rachel and Dad are trying both sides of the wall.
Go Lizzy!
Mom’s stuck there!
Looks easy..not!
Monkey climb.
Hangin’ out!
Upsidedown…no problem!
That’s a long jump!
Good start!
Good old monkey bars.
Rachel was awesome on these!
Ninja Warrior run.
Over the top!
Race ya!
Like a flag on a flag pole!
Ring the bell!
Flipping over is fun!
Over under not too hard.
He did it!
Spin the wheel!
The jumping spider wall!
Hang on Dad!
This is not easy at all! None of us could complete this one!
You got this Rachel!!
Harder than it looks!
A little help from your sister!

That was a very challenging obstacle course!!

We then stopped at the store and picked up a mystery item for a Chopped cooking challenge. Sullivan and Rachel went head to head and Lizzy and Mom were the sous chefs and picked the mystery item which was yucca. The 3 food items they were given were Tortilla Shells, Yucca, and Tricolored Peppers.

Time for the Chopped competition:

Rachel’s off to a good start!
Dad’s adding some spicy sauce.
She is pretty confident on this one!
They both look pretty good!

Time for judging (by Lizzy and Mom):

It was so close!

All that cooking the other day sparked a baking challenge for Dad and Rachel. This time they weren’t in competition with each other but decided to try to bake something challenging together:

Wow! that’s a lot of cake!
The filling looks delicious too!
Not only did it look amazing but it tasted amazing as well! Good job Rachel and Dad!
