Olympic Distance Triathlon: Two summers ago I competed in a Sprint Distance Tri, so this summer I decided to try the Olympic Distance! The swim was 0.93 miles, bike was 23.5 miles and a 10K run. The swim and run were great and the bike was awful :( I had a low (read flat) tire for over half of the miles so my time was slow. But I'm still glad I did it!
Visit from Luther Friends: Blake, Jen and their 3 sweet kiddos came to visit from Iowa! We had such a fun visit! The kids were stacked: Bo (5) Ali (6) Brady (7) Carson (8) Caitlyn (9) - they played SO amazingly well together! We camped in Rocky Mountain National Park, played at the pool, visited the Science Museum, hiked in Boulder and ate LOTS of yummy food!
Trip To Alaska: What a special trip we had to Alaska in June over summer solstice. We love AK in the summer, especially in June! The weather was perfect. The kids were in LOVE with their cousins - we had so much fun with Grammy, Grandpa Michael and Zach, Margaret, Willem (5) and Sophia (1)! Again, we ate lots of yummy food (we have been on a new workout program the last couple of weeks to make up for our June eating, lol), watched animals at the Conservation Center (which we got to ride in the back of Zach's truck in true Alaska fashion), carved sticks, had target practice with Grandpa's gun, made a quick trip to Healy to visit our old stomping ground, ate dinner out with my BFF from high school, and held baby husky puppies at the Iditarod Trail HQ.
Palmer travels...
Weekend in Healy....
Dinner with Darcie!!
Fun Times With Friends: The weeks we have been home, we have enjoyed lots of pool time and playdates! Carson has been playing baseball this summer with a few buddies, Aliana had a cheer camp at Brian's high school last week and Ballet starts for her on Thursday!

Thankful for all of our blessings this summer! Goodnight!!
