Amazing Race Santa Monica

Two years ago my mom signed us all up for The Amazing Race-Los Angeles.  It is a knock off of the TV show, that was put together by two guys.  It took us from Hollywood to downtown LA and back, with puzzles, riddles, and clues to figure out.  When we did the race back in 2010 we came in 2nd Place and were devastated.  My family is very competitive and 2nd place just wasn't good enough.  Especially since we lost the lead at the very end and let a group of tweens pass us.

This year for a Mother's Day gift we decided to try our hand at the

Zeke was even part of the team and was amazing the whole time.  Didn't get fussy once during the entire 3 hour race, which took place during his nap time.

us because they couldn't figure it out.
