On the tri (err, third) day, we woke up VERY early to go watch the men race. Both David and Brian competed in the International Distance of the Lifetime Fitness Triathlon. It wasn't easy for Ania and I to get all 3 kids ready and loaded in time to make it for their swim exit, but somehow (despite a pretty lengthy walk through the grass with a non-off-roading stroller) we made it just minutes before their swim exit. 
We managed to catch them at two locations of the bike as well.

My friend Julie (you may remember our meetup and her twins from an earlier post) lives very close to the race course and woke herself and her twins up early to endure the extreme heat and humidity to hang out with Kyle and I between Dave's racing legs. She helped us navigate the course so we could catch them in several locations. Oh, and her little son Elliot had Kyle in giggle fits. But Kyle's true eye was on Morgan-- he is such a ham and a flirt around her! They were all so incredibly fun together.
As we waited for daddy to finish his run, Kyle watched on and clapped for the racers.
Here comes daddy! In personal record time!
Julie and I 'raced' a journey of our own to get to where we are today with our kiddos. I'm so glad we could get together again. Maybe someday we can convince her to move to Colorado so the kids can hang out all the time? ;)
Jack, Caroline and Kyle were all such troopers. They happily walked the distances to see their daddies compete. Such great cheerleaders they are already!
After making the long walk back to the car, we hurried home to get cleaned up and packed to head up north to the lake. Caroline used the time to take Kyle for a stroll in her wagon. She is SO good with Kyle! It makes my heart melt.
We had a rather uneventful 3 hour drive up to the cabin. Kyle slept for most of it and when he woke, he entertained himself in the 3rd row of Grandpa's Tahoe reading books and eating (throwing?) cheerios.
