Go Dave Go!


Dave did a triathlon on the 24th of July with his brother Mike. We were so excited to go watch and so excited to have Alison and the kids along.

This triathlon was in Trenton, NJ and it was HOT that day. We had to leave at 5:30am and when I went out to load the kids into the car I about died from breathing in the heat and humidity. It had to already be 85 degrees. The heat just continued to rise and it was so hot that the participants were not aloud to wear their wet suits because the water temperature was 86 degrees. Dave said it was not refreshing.

Besides the heat we had a really good time. We walked from place to place hoping to see Dave and Mike as many times as possible. After Dave finished we got some shaved iced to cool off.

Dave did really well as usual and placed 65th. This race had 1800 participants, it was HUGE! Mike did awesome for his first tri. He even finished under his goal time. Congrats boys. We can't wait to cheer you on at the next one.

Here is one more picture of my big eater. At 7:30am she was hoarding all the cheese puffs.

Ha ha...Lana was hysterical with the cheese puffs...which in retrospect I shouldnt have packed for an event that early in the day. oH, well!

Dave, are you sure you guys weren't holding hands? I thought it was just my camera angle but it looks like it in Tracie's picture, too!

That is amazing! I think I would die after the first hour. Did I tell you guys how much I love your new beach picture? I may have, but just in case I didn't- you all look wonderful in it!

I just checked, and I did tell you already. That just proves how much I really like it!
