4-wheeling and Triathlon

We went to visit Todd's mission trainer and his cute family at their home in Fairview (not sure if that is how you spell it).  We had such a great time with them.  They have a barn about ten minutes from their house with 5 horses, 7 dogs, a couple of goats, some chickens and a rooster.  It was a new experience for me to be around all of those animals at once.  Their baby goat Patsy was my favorite.  While we were up there we took Emma for her first 4-wheeling ride.  Don't worry we went really slowly because we didn't have a helmet on her.  She slept through the whole ride.  She was obviously very excited about the whole thing.  Todd wanted to go for a ride on the raft but I wouldn't go with him so he just went alone.  What a cute husband I have.

 The next day Todd did his first ever triathlon. It was a reverse sprint which meant that he got to run first, then bike and then swim.  He did great on the run and was in first place going into the bike by what seemed like forever to me.  One person passed him on the bike and his brother Kyle caught up to him and helped him finish on the bike.  This was only the second time in who knows how many years that Todd has been on a road bike, he was getting tired.  Then for the swim... let's just say there is a lot of room for improvement but what do you expect when there was zero training involved?  He did so great though!  He got second overall and the guy who beat him just did the St. George Iron-man so he doesn't even count.

Emma is such a good sport letting us drag her around to all sorts of these events way too early in the morning!  She sure is proud of her Daddy.
