Summer with family!

Postby AlmostThere » Sun Jul 25, 2010 5:06 pm

Sharing some summer fun with my 2 GDs and DD.
First the horse camp pictures:
Amanda on Whiskey
Image

Danica on the pinto, Girl
Image

Then today was the triathalon. First was my DD (center) getting instruction. The sun was getting hot already at 9AM!
Image

Another shot:
Image

Everyone marching down to the Columbia River and then hiking 1/2 mi upstream to start the swim portion.
Image

Sharing the river with this big guy! Can you see the little yellow kayak? There were several acting as line judges.
Image

Biking was next. Here's the area.
Image

Trying to get into her Tshirt. Found out she pinned her # to both sides and had to repin!
Image

Then into her riding gear.
Image

last: Running portion.
Image
Image

To the NE we could glimpse Mt St Helens.
Image

To the SW Mt Hood.
Image

2 GDs before their race.
Image

Running portion: Amanda first, then Danica. I didn't get their swimming nor their biking part. ;)
Image

Image

It was a perfect summer day and both girls got trophies.Here is their picture along with their friend, Macy.

Image

Don't know what place my DD ended up but it was her first race so she just wanted to finish. SIL was the "go-fer" and also took pictures.

What an undertaking. :) Looks like a great way for a parent to model healthy activities for children and the whole family to maintain a healthy life style....

I'm out of breath and sweaty just looking at the pics! I could hardly do one of those things, let alone all three! Good for them!

WHEW! What a busy day for you all! Your family looks like they are having so much fun! Lake Placid had its triathlon today, too, and it was a perfect day for it---not too hot, not too cool.

Thanks so much for the great pics! It must have been a terrific day for you all!
