Shaylee and Daniel's first Triathalon

Shaylee really wanted to do this mini youth triathalon so Daniel told her he would do it with her. She is not a very good swimmer yet so the swimming was tough. She only had to swim 25 yards but she had never swam across the whole length of the pool. She thought she was going to die and even wanted to cheat and hold onto Daniel's arm. She pulled through and accomplished the swim. Next she took off on her bike and did really well on the bike and run. They had to bike a mile and then run a half mile. We were so proud of her. Her dad was pretty proud of himself too and was telling people that he did a triathalon, didn't mention that it was a youth one!! WE all had to give him a hard time but he was sure great with Shaylee and cheered her a long.Go Shaylee! and Daniel!!

Camping

We had a lot of fun with all of the Clares camping at Black River. It is the perfect spot to camp. You are in a remote area with a river right by you and plenty of places to roam and play. The kids had so much fun with their cousins and couldn't get enough of it. Kayla was just a month old and that was a little crazy. She did really well and we were surpirsed. The drive out to Arizona was long but all the kids did really well. We had fun fishing, hiking, and doing crafts. It had been awhile since we had seen the Clares and it was so good to see all of them.
