Spudman

We went to Burley, Idaho last weekend to watch Nate compete in his 2nd Idaho Spudman Triathalon.  We went with the Holland family and the Billings. 

We ate dinner at Stevo-o's. . . the crowning jewel of Burley cuisine.  The kids had fun dancing to the live band while we ate. 

The next morning we rousted everyone up and were out of the house by 6:30 ready to cheer the boys on.  We watched them get in the water and then herded our crew of kids 1 mile downstream to see them get out and get going on their bikes.  Then it was back to the transition area so we'd be ready to see them get off their bikes and head out on the 6 mile run. After that, we headed over to see them cross the finish line. 

It takes a lot to keep the kiddos entertained and good for the looooong morning.  They colored, ate lots of food, and played plenty of iPad.

I was so proud of Nate for training hard and finishing this race.  He found out the night before that he had Strep and felt so crappy the morning of the race.  I think he was amazing to be able to swim almost a mile, bike 26, and run 6 miles while having strep throat!

 

After the race, we relaxed for a bit and then went to the bowling alley.  My kids think it's the coolest thing ever that the Holland's used to own the bowling alley and that we get to have the place to ourselves when we go to Burley.  It's their favorite thing about this weekend!

Stella was exhausted at this point since we woke her up at 6 am and she hadn't had a nap, but other than climbing up into the skee ball thing and throwing a small fit, she did great!

 

You better believe she was fast asleep before we even pulled out of the parking lot for our trek home!
