Some of our June

I wish I could say that our summer was going to be filled with lavish vacations, romantic getaways, and exciting trips but truthfully we don't have any plans for that. We are just staying here and enjoying our little bundles of cuteness. And we are having a blast. And staying pretty busy with our little activities. We having been making tons of smoothies this summer. It's the only way Hunter will eat anything healthy and he loves loading them up with fresh fruit!!
This activity was the best ever. Black paper, and wet chalk. Kept us busy for a full afternoon!!
Here are our masterpieces!!
We are lucky to have an ironman right in the city where we live. The athletes take over our town for a few days and it's so much fun. It was amazing to watch some of the racing. Truly inspiring and it's even a little emotional watching them cross the finish line. I'm so proud of these complete strangers as they finish and some of them collapse!
Haylee was their number one cheerleader. For being a stranger anyway. She stood at the finish line cheering them on louder than anybody. And although most of them were too tired to give high fives, a select few did and she was thrilled to be able to give them high fives.
The race started at 6:30 am. They have until midnight to finish. If they finish after midnight they are not considered ironmen. 8 racers finished after mignight. To me they are the true ironmen. Pushing their bodies to the extreme for 17 straight hrs. Truly amazing and insane. And very intriguing to watch.

I am surprised how few people are at the finish line. What time were you there watching?

We were there at three in the afternoon when the first finishers were crossing. 7 to 11 pm is when the bulk of them finish.
