I don't have all the pictures from my mom and sisters from our weekend but I really wanted to get something posted. So that means you might just get to see more pictures later this week.
Saturday morning was the Ankeny Youth Triathlon! We just love this event so much. The kids have worked so hard training and we really enjoy cheering them on! It was a great morning and we appreciate everyone who came out to support them.
They were excited and a little nervous before the race started. I'm glad we've done it several times before because there was a mix-up with Kael's race number but we got it all squared away and he handled it really well.
Kylee's favorite part is the run portion of the race.
And Kael was all smiles on the bike portion! I just love seeing them give it their all.
Both were really happy with their times and how the race went. They both improved times from last year.
Kylee came in first in her age division. She was so happy- I know she was feeling the pressure from having won last year too!
We had lunch out with Keith and Cindy after the race to celebrate and Kent found a cool spot to take photos with Kase and Kylee.
Then Kylee went to a birthday party while we got everything packed. We picked her up and headed to the lake!
We've all been looking forward to this week at Lake Panorama all summer! We had only been there for a few minutes and the kids were jumping on the trampoline, sitting in the hot tub and playing at the beach.
We fit in lots of tubing and hot dog rides!
Kael and Berkley were best buddies all week.
And these three amigos kept us on our toes.
The kids got braver and braver and caught lots of air on the tube!
Early morning breakfast and book reading on the deck. And that view. Sigh.
The sunsets over the lake were just breathtaking.
Kase declared my mom's punch to be his favorite part of the trip.
Beach fun!
Kent and Kase clocked a lot of quality time fishing. They didn't catch a lot but they had a great time.
The boys.
And the girls.
The fun never ended! Basketball and big wheel rides out front kept everyone entertained between boat rides.
Kase found a good spot to lounge.
He was resting up so that he could get on the ski trainer and show off a little bit!
Kael did a lot of tubing. He really had fun.
Hanging out with my best guy.
And with this fun crew! Who wouldn't want to hang out with this group?!
Of course we had a fire pit and s'mores one night.
Photos with Grandpa.
More fishing.
We did have one rainy day. That meant it was time to bust out the karaoke machine! We also played some great games- including a Guess Who game with our own faces on the cards!
Then the weather cleared in time for Kylee to ski!
We attempted to get a picture of everyone with the muscle pose (inspired by Kase).
I love capturing these sweet moments. Kase was "reading" to Huston.
This sunset boat ride was one of my favorite moments of the trip. It's just gorgeous out on the water. So calm and peaceful.
We wrapped up our morning with one last dip in the hot tub. All the cousins are going to miss each other this week!
It has just been the best week. There's nothing better than time spent with family.
We're looking forward to the week ahead too- our furniture gets delivered tomorrow, which means that by this weekend Kylee's room should be totally put back together! It's been one month since we got struck by lightning and we are all ready to have our house back, but especially Kylee. She's so anxious to have her own space again!
Have a great weekend, all!
