Spudman

Aaron has really enjoyed training for and doing triathlons. I don't know how he does it (especially the swimming), but we enjoy watching him and cheering him on! Aaron had a his first triathlon of the summer the Saturday following the 4th. He had come home earlier that week from Washington so he could work and get ready for the race. Elsie and I stayed up there to hang out with family and then woke up REALLY early Saturday morning and drove to Boise from Jared and Lindsay's house. We wanted to be able to be there when he finished the race! We made it in time and were waiting for him at the finish line.

Elsie was ready to give him two thumbs up!
Hooray! He finished! He was pretty dead after this race because they didn't have any energy stuff along the way that most races have. But he still looks happy...love that smile!
We all enjoyed the after race snacks.

We were so proud of Aaron! Elsie loves watching him race and can't stop talking about wanting to do races with Daddy. In a few years we'll have to sign her up for one.

(Horrible picture of me...I had been driving for 5 hours and didn't do my hair!)
He has another race this weekend in Emmett. We get to watch the whole thing this time!

That's so awesome that he's into the racing scene and how cute that Elsie is his biggest cheerleader! and you look just fine in the picture (you're too hard on yourself)
