Weekend Wrap-Up

I just love our weekends.  We've been crossing stuff off our Summer Bucket List and clocking some seriously awesome family time!

Last week Kase had a sleepover at his cousin's house.  It was the first sleepover he had besides at a grandparents' house.  I know he had fun! 

The next day Kylee, Kase and I rode bikes to Hawkeye Park while Kael was at weightlifting.

Then later that afternoon the big kids both had plans with friends.  Kael went to Adventureland and Kylee was at the pool with a friend so Kase and I went to the zoo! It was so fun and also hilarious.  He practically sprinted through the entire place in less than an hour.  We saw every animal there.  Then he played at the parks for awhile before heading home. 

The next day we had a lemonade stand! Kylee and her friend mostly ran it and even delivered lemonade to the guys working at the school on the outdoor classroom that's being built!

That night we had my parents and Tammy and her kids over for dinner. It was such a nice night! We played at the park and played some bocce ball. The kids love spending time with cousins and grandparents.

The next morning was the triathlon.  Easily one of my favorite days of the entire summer.

This was Kael's sixth one and Kylee's fourth one!

Kylee and her training group.

The kids gave it their all! I'm so proud of them.

Go, Kael, go! He really ran hard at the end and finished strong! 

Huston is cheering Kael on in the pool!

Kylee and her coach watching the results come in.

First place! She was nervous going into the race because she heard a few girls in her age division had done more than 30 triathlons.  But she didn't let it get to her and she ended up winning!

So thankful for all the family to come out and support my kids!

Kylee and Tanner have known each other since preschool. It was his first tri and she had fun showing him the ropes.  He did a great job!

That afternoon we rode bikes up to Miracle League with Keith and Cindy.  What a great way to spend the afternoon!

Then, Sunday Funday! We started off our morning with a bike ride to a park that had some new playground equipment.

And later we went boating.  Kael and Kylee had so much fun tubing!

We spent the rest of the evening at my parents.  Played outside and had dinner and Kase climbed trees.  

It was another great weekend!
