Today, Tyler completed his first triathlon. It was on Whidbey Island (beautiful!). We had a great day and couldn't be more proud of him!
Getting ready to leave for the race... 5am
Taking the ferry to Whidbey Island. It was a cloudy day, but still quite pleasant.
Getting ready to start. He doesn't even look nervous.
Tyler's wave taking off in the water. He's somewhere in there.Coming out of the water. He completed the swim way faster than we expected. We were so excited for him.
This was the cheering squad. The twins' dad, Mike, did the triathlon with Tyler. It was awesome to have Kirsten with me all morning during the race too.
Tyler looks so happy because he is just about to finish the biking leg of the race. He said that was definately the hardest part. It turns out Whidbey Island is a very hilly place.
Running to the finish line.
After the race. Doesn't he look great? :)
This triathlon was a 1/2 mile swim, 19.5 mile bike ride, and 3.8 mile run. Tyler did it in 2 hours and 4 minutes. He's amazing!
I really admire people who do stuff like this. Triathlons and 5ks. I literally think I have a better chance at winning a Grammy than I would have of doing something like this. Congrats!

While having a gun safety talk with the boys, we were explaining that if they ever found a gun somewhere, they should never touch it, because you never know if it's loaded. Jackson replies with, "Right. You can't tell if it has bullets in it just by looking at it, just like you can't judge a book by its cover."

Deep thoughts by Fisher: "Does our brain tell us what to do? Or do we tell our brain what to do?"

While eating breakfast, out of nowhere Fisher asks, "hey mom, why didn't they let him join in any reindeer games?"
