July 1, 2009

Well June has just flown by and we're now feeling like it's summer! It's been a long time coming as the temps have been more in the "moderate" not "hot" range. :-) We started June with our 11th anniversary. It was a real treat because Deana and Jay took the kids from noon sat. til after lunch sunday. What did we do? We went for a round of golf, late dinner, up early for a bike ride then for an open water swim. It was a real treat as we usually don't get to do many of these things together anymore. We were so busy in that 24 hours that we didn't have much time to think about kids but it sure was nice to get them back! :-) They did great at "Levi's house" and didn't even ask for us!

One of the big points of the month for us was the 5430 sprint triathlon that we both did. It was a 1/2mile outdoor swim, 17 mile bike and 3mile run. Not too long so we were able really enjoy it. The weather was perfect and once again...we had a sitter come at the break of dawn so we could both go. It was my first time doing this particular triathlon and all went smooth....after I got the goat head out of my foot that is...I stepped on it in the water right before we started. Boy, did I have a bruise the next morning! We had pretty good times and now have something to beat for next year.

As I write this I should be packing. We're gone from June 27-July 12th to Canada. We are attempting to drive this time...should be interesting with the three kids. SK is our first destination and then we'll do the drive to AB for 5 days or so. The kids are soooo excited...I just want to make it without pulling out my hair! :-)

We hope you all have a good 4th of July and Canada Day and we'll update you on how the trip went when we get back!
