Kid's Tri

This past weekend our family volunteered at our local Y's kid's triathlon. It was an early morning, all four of us had to be at the Y by 7:15. Our post was on the bike route and our job was to help direct kids around the turn. The kids were ages 3-14, some were really into it and others, well, not so much. Next year we hope to put Owen in the race. This year both of our boys did so well.

Owen was a trooper and well behaved over all. He really enjoyed cheering all the racers on and he would yell "go go" to everyone as they went by. In between each age group there was some down time so Owen sat and  watched the airplanes in the sky, played in the grass and tried to pick up ants on the curb.

Emmett spent most of his time in a carrier either on mama or daddy. He also took a nice long morning nap in the stroller. Next year he will have to help us cheer on his big bro.

Eric and I look forward to volunteering with our boys at many more events in the future. We hope to instill in them a desire to serve others and volunteer as much as possible.
