Irondad

The long awaited 2nd Saturday in November finally arrived.  The day our family had focused, concentrated, trained, and sacrificed for…….

Daddy Buck was to race the River Roux 70.3

  

{#254}

     

He :swam: for 1.2 miles

  

We watched over the water until he resurfaced

 

44 minutes -- on to T1

He :biked: for 56 miles

        

We cheered up and down the streets until he reappeared

 

3 hours and 12 minutes -- on to T2

He :ran: for 13.1 miles

That’s 70.3 miles in 6 hours and 29 minutes,

beating his self-imposed first time goal of 6 hours and 30 minutes

This has to be what total exhaustion and spent looks like….

To us, he’s Irondad!

A {trademarked} Halloween……

So I eased up and let go from years past where I dictated encouraged my boys through their Halloween costume selections.

 

So what’d we get……

  

Avengers!!  In all their glory!!  Ready to conquer the neighborhood streets!

 

Thor….. blonde, hammer-clad, and fierce

 

Captain America….. muscular, shield-bearing, and stoic

A safe Halloween was had by all……

~ ONE ~ …..

outtakes…...just because

 

just because……

everyone picked their own clothing and got dressed by themselves for church on Sunday morning with zero whining, bickering, fussing, or complaining

 

just because……

it’s really great photography when your camera focuses on the pitiful bay leaf tree between the subjects as opposed to the ever-so-handsome subjects in the picture

 

just because……

I wanted to learn how to use the timer on my camera before we go on vacation just in case I can’t find a willing stranger on the beach to take our family pictures

{thanks Remington for photo-bombing this one}

 

just because…..

 

it makes for more really great photography when you sit on top of your child in a really awkward pose

{you again Remington!}

 

just because……

we finally did achieve a half decent snapshot {on the timer}, we had fun doing it, and I wanted to see who really still does read this blog

waterpark fun for everyone
