RESULTS

The results are in.....well they have been in for awhile, but here they are.
Darron was 28th overall. Out of 453 participants, I'd say that gives him a solid A. I was 175th overall, which keeps me at about my average in all that I do, low B, high C.
I have always said that C's get degrees.
We had a ton of fun and can't wait to do it again.
Darron of course wants to be in the top 10 next year,
I on the other hand would be happy to be 175th again.

"Volkslauf 2007" aka MUD RUN

Darron and I and a few of our friends participated in the Volkslauf 5K yesterday. It was an obstacle course and mud run designed by the US Marine Corpes. It was a blast. We had so much fun we can't wait for next year. Neither of us got first place....but neither of us got last.

The photos are courtesy of Bradon and Morgan. I think they are aspiring photo journalists. All the kids got to come watch their parents play in the mud. A big thanks to Papa Dave and Ethie for watching them.

Super Busy Nilsson Summer

As you can tell, Summer brings a new meaning of busy to this family. So now that we are not doing paperwork, booking trips, and coordinating rafts running down the river, I can get back to the blog. We have done numerous things this Summer. Trips to the beach, trips to the mountains, Darron climbed Mt. Whitney and Evan learned to swim. Raia has turned in to a wonderful little toddler, Morgan is nearing teenage years long before her time, and Bradon learned to skateboard better than I ever will. We had a good season on the river. Water was low, but with not much to do around here, any water is great. We love our summer time business, but are always relieved to have a season end without incidence. Here are a few pictures to proove we didn't fall off of the planet for three months. . . . . Just extremely busy!!!!

"Perfect Attendance"

We haven't yet figured out why we didn't have anything better to do than send our kids to school for the past year, but appearently we are pretty boring. Bradon received a trophy for "Perfect Attendence" for his kindergarten year. Not one day of school missed. Congrats Bradon. You are awesome.

SUMMER HAS ARRIVED

Summer has arrived in true Bakersfield fashion. HOT, HOT, HOT. The kids don't mind. The pool has been there best friend for months. At least now they don't get hypothermia if they stay in more than 20 minutes. Raia is truely a Nilsson. She LOVES the water...I don't think she had a choice.

4-Wheelin Fun

The "kids" in this family are really enjoying the great outdoors on 4-wheels. Of course the "big kid" is just glad to have more of an excuse to get out. Morgan is extremely cautious. Bradon isn't cautious enough,
and dad well....we will just leave it at that!!!!
Mom and the smaller kids just watch and try really hard not to get EATEN by the wildlife.

"THE BIG 20"

Food-Ex had TWENTY deliveries yesterday.
WE are so proud of the business man in the family.
Keep it up Dad
