St. George Iron Man

Travis decided that he was going to do the Iron Man this year in St. George, and since it is a big deal we went down to support him in his cause to finish one of the toughest races in the country.  Unfortunately Aly last minute couldn't come because of some issues at work but the kids and I decided to still go and give her the weekend to get stuff done.

We were able to stay at my parents house with John and LeeAnn and it couldn't have been a better spot because right down their street is where the bikers went by.  They did a loop and so we were able to see Travis three times on his bike and then after dinner on Saturday we saw him again running.  Well, I don't know if you call it running, it was more of an excruciating walk, but he was still going.  After 15 hours and 50 minutes he crossed the finish line, right before 11:00 at night.  Luckily Colby came with us and was able to watch the kids while we went down to see him finish.  It was a great accomplishment and I am glad that I took the girls down to watch Travis become an Iron Man.

This is how we found the girls sleeping when we came home, if Gracie would have been awake she would have probably been hitting Isabelle by now to get her off of her
