Yippee! School started! The kids were getting so bored! I ended up forgetting the camera when Auri & Will went on their first day so I just used my cell phone and haven't sent the pics to my computer yet. But I do have a picture of Blake on his first day of kindergarten! I can't believe he's in school! (Sniff) I honestly never shed a tear when Will & Auri went to Kindergarten, but I did with Blake. Nothing to do with loving them less, it's just that Blake was my "baby" for almost 5 years until Payton came along. We had a lot of fun times just the two of us... now he's in school in the afternoons. He loves it--especially music class--is he a singer! He even got the "Musician of the Day" award on the first day they went to music. Funny!
The triathlon is Olympic length which means: 1.5k swim, 40k bike, 10k run. If that seems like a lot to you, Shawn will be doing the Grand Columbian half-iron in 2 weeks which is: 1.2mi swim, 56 mi bike, 13 mi run! Craziness! Anyhow, this year it was really fun because we saw Shawn at the last part of the run and Blake and Will decided to run with him. Shawn doesn't take it too seriously so he was happy to indulge them. Blake ran for about a half mile and Will actually ran the last mile with him and went through the finish line.
Afterwards we went to a little "water" park and the kids enjoyed one of the last hot days of summer there.
