Tri Like a Girl

By Kerry -




I finished my first triathalon this weekend! It was a totally great experience and I think I might like to do it again. My good friend Mindy Weber talked me in to trying one (it was her first and she came in 6th for her age group... AWESOME!!) Admittedly, I only trained for a few weeks, and it was quite a process considering Brennan is only 4 months old. It was a Sprint Tri, so it was an 800m swim, 13mi bike ride, and 5k run. The 5k run wore me out!! Even having my bike chain pop off wasn't nearly as hard as the run. But the best part was knowing our girls were out there cheering me on! They even made signs.

Closed, as a nimble trotter,
Impressed were her three daughters.

   Well, we finally made it to Arkansas after a very, very, very, very long night. There was on-and-off driving, sleeping (well, it was really a lot of little naps) on the couch, the table seat, my real bed for about two hours, then back to the table seat. But we made it!    On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we played with Billy and EJ, built forts, and spent a lot of time on the lake. But today, Billy and EJ were back in school and my sisters and I had nothing to do. So Uncle Gannon took us to Crystal Bridges. We saw some really cool things, went on some trails, and got lost for about half an hour. But it was worth it!     We are leaving on Thursday, so we have one more day to have fun with our cousins and then it's off to the next state and the next adventure. ~ Emme

DISNEY (part 2)

Day Three started out EARLY!  We had 7:30 reservations at Chef Mickey, so we left Nana and Papa to sleep in and we headed out for our next adventure.  Tons. Of. Fun. AGAIN!!  The girls loved dancing around and thought it was super cool that we let them have as much syrup and whipped cream on their pancakes and hot cocoa as they wanted! Here are the girls dancing around after breakfast. Donald was a definite favorite! But Goofy really got Emme's attention.  They were fast friends!! After breakfast, we decided to relax around the pool for a bit before heading to Hollywood Studios.  Addison got up the nerve to go down the super long water slide.  It was really cool to watch her do that!  Emme wasn't quite as brave, but loved spending time in the pool! After the pool, we all headed back to our rooms and the girls took a long nap.  They had been going so fast, they finally needed time to crash!!
