         Ran the Alta Peruvian downhill bash and BBQ bash. Me and Jake ran together fro the whole race. I almost fell off the side of the road so Jake caught me before I could. We ran and at about 2.5 miles it started raining lightly then 1 minute later it started pouring and lightining. Once the rain started we started going way faster, We did the last mile in 7.5 minutes. By the time we finished we were soaked and freezing. We got back up to the lodge and had the barbeque it was so good. Then we swam in the hot tub. And later we went and played  some board games. 

         The next morning. I woke up early and played a game of chess with Andy he beat me by a ton. Then Natalie and Shelby woke up. Amiee started giving us a scavenger hunt. She had us go find stuff all throughout the hotel it was so creepy. We found all the stuff then we wandered up to the 2nd floor and found the bar. In the back there was a room that said employees only in big red letters we went in then Steve came. In the room there was a polar bear on the wall along with a buffalo and a deer. In the back room there was a boars head. Steve started chasing us around the hotel with the boars head who does that!! we got so scared and ran screaming. Then we played with our model horses then came home. It was fun.

You did so great Abby!!! I'm impressed by how fast you ran. In a lightning storm!

Really proud of you.

My favorite part was at about 3.5 miles when the rain was pouring and your Mom pulled up in the car... you said "TELL HER I AM NOT STOPPING!" :-)
