The Fans!

Check out the wonderful support group Patrick, Dusty and Derek had following them around all day!

Jo-Jo made some incredible t-shirts for the Pain Cave/ Fondy fans. We all had the same design, just different names - so our group looked huge!
It was really fun (though sometimes confusing) to see others that you didn't know in the same shirt - but we made friends pretty fast!
Thanks again Joe for all your hard work!

Here are Tara and I sporting our shirts --- guessing this will be our last picture together with pregnant bellies!
Baby (Patrick) Ellestad - due any day
Baby (Eric) Ellestad - due February 15!


Thomas and Josiah were troopers for the entire day in and out of the car / in and out of the stroller/ etc.  
Thomas loved to wear Buppa's hat and pointed out all things BUCKY all day! - I loved it!


Thomas and Dad watching the swim.


Cheering on the bikers with the cow bells
he was pretty good about not ringing it too close to Buppa's ears!


Mom and Barb were great about setting up a play area for the boys at each stop - ready to entertain but quickly pack up as soon as the guys raced by!


We also had some great signs for Patrick and the other racers!
This one was inspired by our neighbors Andy and Heidi. Andy often tells his nephew, "Not in my house Kemosabe!" - something Patrick now says to Thomas!


Landon and Jo-Jo cheering on the bikers in Mt. Horeb.
Landon was also wearing a tough Mudder headband - Eric, Jeff and Joe competed in this insane obstacle race on Saturday - running through fire, electricution, dumpsters full of ice, huge mud pools and much more! Crazy - but totally awesome!


Many of us met up in Mt. Horeb during the second loop of the bike - Jen created one of the best signs of the day - I think all of the athletes thought it was hilarious!


After the guys went by, we took a group photo - not the whole group since many were spread out on the course - but still, quite a spectacle!
Thanks again for cheering the Pain Cave group on!


Mid afternoon nap - no problem, how about the side of the road near the Mobil station!
In case you are worried, this side of the street was completely closed!


Jo-jo was sick of getting chex mix one piece at a time :)


Here was my sign --- better get this baby moving or that whole "one week" thing won't be accurate!
