All 4 kids - SWIM, BIKE, RUN --- Sturgis Kid's Triathlon Race Report

Last Saturday, all 4 kids participated in the Sturgis Youth Triathlon.  While the event wasn't timed  - the kids all received a medal and really enjoyed the event!

My absolute FAVORITE photo from the triathlon - taken by a friend of mine.  So proud of my kids.  They did great and knew exactly what to do at each point in the race. 

Jillian and I were running errands around town in the car the other day (just the 2 of us) and she says to me "why is the order of the triathlon - Swim, Bike, Run?".   She thought the swim should be last because you need to clean off all your sweat :) 

Father's Day and Summer FUN!

 First day of summer!  Lunch @ home :)

 Jillian's preschool graduation --- although she'll be doing 1 more year in a young five's program until she's able to attend Kindergarten





Helen read books this year to earn the ingredients to an ice cream sundae --- the spoon, the bowl, the napkin, ice cream, toppings, etc.  Helen read enough books that she had many, many check marks after she earned all her sundae ingredients.  We are proud of her reading efforts :)
