Race weekend

This past weekend we participated in another of the kids fun runs. This one was held at the local peach festival and it was a blast!

Since Lily ran the last race all by herself Luke was ready to take both kids from the start while I waddled behind

Right before the race
Lily surprised us all again by running the entire mile without stopping. Even Jack made it this time with no complaints
Ready to cross the finish line

Almost there!

The amazing Lily
After the race the kids were rewarded with a baggie of all sorts of goodies and fun coupons
Then we headed over to the peach festival for the day and enjoyed peach ice cream, peach pie, peach beer and lots more treats.
Here we are eating peach ice cream
Later that evening Jack and I drove over to my gym to pick up his race packet for his triathlon in the morning. Jack was so excited to get a new shirt and lots of energy bars/gummies/brownies for his race.
Sunday morning we headed out for Jack's first triathlon. Here he is before his race
Jack and Lily showing off their numbers
First part of the triathlon was the swim. Here is Jack ready to jump in

Afterwards Luke helped him at the transition area to get his shirt on and get on his bike
He then rode up the pre marked trail and back again
After dropping off his bike, he headed out for the final part of the triathlon: the run. Here he is coming up to the finish line:
Our little triathlete with his medal
So proud!
Love these kids!
