Danskin Tri at California Adventure Park


Well let me say this was very fun ( a little frustrating though) I did this tri with Page (who did not train, hence the frustration) Page did finish and it was fun to support her on her first Tri. While down there we had fun at Disney and Cal. with Marshall and Ash Lee.
I did not have my digital camera so no pictures form there yet. I will add them later.

Happy Hollow Park


At the Zoo


Here is the leopard and the meerkats and lastly the wallaby


This is Scarlet (she is 9 days younger than Kelty)



Kelty figured she was older so she would lead Scarlet around and show her the park. The second picture is Mike pleading for Scarlet's help so he would not fall into the darkness below.

Today we went to Happy Hollow with Mike and Katie and their daughter Scarlet who are visiting and with Ada. We had a blast! It was fun seeing the park after about 9 years since our last visit. It was a first for Mikensie, Teagan and Kelty. They rode on Danny the Dragon. Also the carousals and the police cars and fire trucks. We also visited the zoo area, where we saw a leopard and lemurs . Teagan liked the Wallaby. They all enjoyed the petting zoo with the goats.
It was so nice to visit with Mike, Katie and Scarlet.

I did it!

Well I have been neglecting to blog lately. But I do have a great excuse. I have been training for a sprint Triathlon that Page and I are going to do next weekend. Well I got the Tri bug and found out about a sprint at Lake Almaden in San Jose so I siezed the moment and thought it would be great to try one at the place I bike at with my dad. Oh My Gosh it was amazing. Okay I could not breath for the first part of the swim all the woman went out at the same time and boy so they bumb and hit and cram into you but I caught my breath at the second half and blew past about 6 woman and 5 men. Then it was off to the bike. That was crazy they took us on parts of the trail I have never seen and up a huge hill that was a KILLER by the top I was going only 2.4 mile an hour the bike was barely staying up. Then it was down hill and onto a small dirt path through a creek and up hills and everything else. Then put the bike away and hit the road after a quick bathroom stop. 3.1 miles later it is over the finish line at an amazing 1:42 I was very pleased that I finished and did so under 2 hours which was what I was hopeing for. Anyways it was great everyone out there is cheering you on it was AMAZING!!
