Mighty Mud Mania - Scottsdale, AZ

Today was the annual Mighty Mud Mania at Chaparral Park in Scottsdale, AZ. The entire event is about MUD and kids.
The main event was the obstacle course with a line over an hour long of kids waiting to race each other and get covered in mud.







The last dive into the mud pool was the best part to watch. They would come up entirely covered in mud.
One tip: If you plan on diving into a mud pool, be sure you have ear plugs in.


Here's just half of the waiting line for the obstacle course.


There's nothing like a nice mud bath in the morning.




They also had a huge soap slide down one of the hill in the park.



I wish they allowed adults to participate. It would have been a blast to try.

Grilled Sweet Potatos

Who else loves grilled sweet potatoes?

They're my fav!

FotoCielo and Arigato Sushi

One of my favorites cities is Santa Barbara. I don't know what it is, but I'm in love with the city. My stress escapes me when I arrive.

On my tour of Southern California I visited all my friends in Santa Barbara including the guys behind FotoCielo. They were having MokaDesign redesign their website so it was nice to talk through some of the ideas and proofs while I was there. I think that might be my only web design client that I've ever met with in person.

Ricky and Tim run the operation and Kiel is a photographers/office dude/nutrition expert.

They were super nice to take me out to my favorite sushi place, Sushi Arigato on State Street.


And I made a stop by David's place although he seemed to sneak away with a girl before I could get a picture so here is the view from his house.

Greg Bumatay

While in California I dropped by to see my friend Greg Bumatay at Bumatay Studio. He's a great photographer and it's been way too long since I photographed with him.

His wife and him recently moved their office into a sweet condo in Fullerton. It's in such a cute community. Here he is in the showroom.

Catalina, CA - A Vacation

It was time to get away from the heat in Arizona so my father, brother and best friend Troy headed out for a guys trip. We stayed at the small Coronado Inn on the island. It's the perfect location to walk down to the bay, downtown Coronado and the brewery.

The homes are all so quaint.


We headed down to Balboa Park and saw part of the Body Worlds exhibit. It's so crazy to see the human body in that form.

There was also this very interesting entertainment group on the pathway. They were a bit creepy. It sort of reminded me of the singing ghosts from the Haunted House in Disneyland.
