That last one... well, today was Max's 1st triathlon (no big deal), his first small-fry tri anyway. :)
Our summer thus far has been one for the books. We've played and crafted and pretended and laughed- then laughed more. And today may very well be our favorite adventure so far.
 |
| Not only did we support a wonderful cause (Relay for Life of Madison County), but we had SO MUCH FUN!! |
The small fry tri was set up like a real triathlon with 3 elements: 1.) running (Max has this one down), 2.) biking (or trike-ing, in Max's case- perfect, we've worked on this for weeks), & 3.) swimming (or, rather, being hosed-down by the Jackson Fire Department).
Can you imagine anything more fun for a kid?! It was so adorable, and something we'll look forward to trying again next year, too.

| All the bikes & trikes lined up and ready for the race! |
 |
| The favorite part of the triathlon: the WATER!!! |
Max even got his 1st trophy for being such a great tri-athlete! :)
 |
| SO proud of his trophy-prize! |
We couldn't help ourselves... we had to catch the fire department before they left to pose with that awesome firetruck.
 |
| Mama & Max |
 |
| Daddy & Max |
 |
| Max even got to sit INSIDE the firetruck... WOW!!! |
With any luck, maybe Max will not inherit his Mama's anti-athletic abilities, and who knows?! Maybe we'll have an Olympic triathlete in the family. :) For today, though, my Max can relish in being the apple of his Mama's eye!
