Volunteering at the Ironman

 Jeremy and Michael volunteered at the bike and first aid station today at the Ironman 70.3 race.  It was a great experience for Michael and he though it was awesome watching all the bikers race by.  This evening they threw a big dinner and celebration for all the volunteers that helped with the race.  Jeremy and I now think that we need to compete in this race someday...if only my knee would cooperate with me!  The racers are amazing.  Time for me to get back to my workout regimen. 

Rodeo

 We took Bryce and Juliet to their first rodeo.  The kids had a great time watching the barrel races and the cowboys and girls try to rope the goats and bulls.  I always feel so bad for the poor animals.  They even had a rabbit chase and Michael and Bryce won a dollar which they quickly spent on cotton candy.  They are both now convinced that we need to buy a horse and keep it in the garage so they can ride it.  If only!
