Longmont Kids Triathlon - June 2, 2012

Joseph, Raven, and Dean all competed in the Longmont Kids Triathlon this morning.  They swam 100 yards, biked 3 miles, and ran .6 miles.  They all had fun, and Dean won his age group!

Joseph and Beth Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Joseph and Beth tried stand up paddle boarding for the first time today. We started from the Jupiter Outdoor Center in Jupiter, FL and paddled the Jupiter River. Rachel rode on the front of Beth's board. We had a great time!

Here's a video of Joseph and Rachel paddling back to the dock. Joseph is on the yellow board on the right.

Joseph can ride without training wheels!

Joseph learned to ride his bike without training wheels today! Beth ran with him, holding the seat of his bike, until he said "Mommy, let go!" After that, he was fine on his own, except for help getting started each time.
