SUMMERTIME
It's here! School ended last week and we officially checked out of our rooms today. Lindsey and I both were able to get a run in early this morning before Emma was even awake. We walked to the pool and were there pretty much the entire afternoon and I was able to get in a workout when Emma got cold and wanted to take a warm shower. Before I was finished however, she was already back in after having already changed back into her dress. She's really getting to be a good little swimmer. It seems like she is doing more and more every time we go. She can jump off the board, flip from the side, dive from the side, go anywhere while holding onto a noodle and kicking, do a "pencil drop", a torpedo, a corkscrew... the list goes on and on.
This last weekend were over in Phoenix for a relatives high school graduation party and to spend some time with my oldest brother, Paul. We had a great time and even drove through snow and fog in Payson on our way there. One of the highlights was going to be swimming in our cousins pool but the unusual cold spell had knocked the temperature down to 71 degrees and a little too cold for us. On the Tuesday before we had arrived, the air temperature in Phoenix was already 110 degrees! It took Emmster a little bit to get out of her shell but she did and her and her Uncle Paul had a lot of fun together. They were being sneaky and playing tricks on everybody with ice cubes. She had a blast and laughed so much as she enjoyed being a little bit mischievous.
Coming up is this weekends triathlon festival in Show Low, AZ. The races are called Deuces Wild and there is a total of 3 races over the weekend but the most one can participate in is 2. I have decided to treat the weekend as a fun training weekend and I am registered for an Olympic triathlon (1500m swim/40k bike/10k run) on Saturday and an Xterra off-road triathlon (800m swim/24k mtn bike/8k trail run) on Sunday. Mike will be in town tomorrow and he will be doing them too so I'm looking forward to it all.
And I'll leave you with a video by Kenny Chesney called (what else) Summertime...
