Clark Family Amazing Race!

Dad & Mom Clark gave us for Christmas this year a ticket into the 1st EVER Clark family Amazing Race!(Like the show) It was an adventure and we made lots of fun memories. We started in Strawberry at the Cabin and it only went uphill from there! We got an envelope of money to get us through the day and at each stop we got a clue to get us to the next stop and the first team to the finish line wins! Well kinda... We had some discrepancies in the game (it was the first year we learned a lot) so at the end of the day we tied and split the prizes.. but it was so fun! It was a hoot to see sibling rivalry arise!
Team Orange: Mitch, Sadie,Austin, Dax Ashtyn
Team Blue: Bryce, Bree and Hayden

The envelopes and clues


We got some help from the Flagstaff Finest ( After he gave us a warning for Austins high speed) A nice escort to our next stop... Louie the Lumberjack!




Next stop was Bedrock city( about 50 miles north of Flagstaff) Dax loved it! We had to take a picture in front of Fred and Wilma's house and slide down Dino's tail (Huge dinosaur slide)
The final stop was the first one to check into our hotel. It was right on the Grand Canyon!


We got there in time to tour the rim

We had dinner that night and got up the next morning to this....



Snow! We couldn't even see the Grand Canyon it was a white out! So we had a really yummy breakfast and headed out. We stopped and saw the Imax GC movie then headed home. It was a really fun weekend and Delight did an AMAZING job putting it all together. Thanks again guys!!!
