Cousin Adventures

 I didn't realize how long Ari's hair was getting
 Taj snapped this picture of us up at Calico Basin.  
 My sister Barb and her family came to visit on their way to and from California.
 Cave monsters
 Ari loved playing with all her pretty girl cousins

Barb and Tim sharing some of their culinary talents with us.  Tim loves to try new recipe's from our friend Hannah's cooking blog.
 My sister also talked me into doing the Pumpkinman Sprint Triathlon
 Taj came out to cheer me on
 This was Barb's second triathlon
 The 1/2 mile swim went well.  I had heard that it can be pretty gnarly in the swim pack with people swimming right over you and stuff but it wasn't too bad.
 It surprised me how nice and encouraging all the people racing were
 It also surprised me to see multiple women in their 60's passing me on their bike/run.  Everyone has their age written with marker on the back of their calf.
 I even saw a 13 yr old boy ahead of me on the run
 Here is Barb trying to show off how she could change out of her wetsuit and transition to bike with her eyes closed.
 Barb finished in 2 hrs and 3 mins and I finished in 2 hrs and 15 mins.  The fastest time for the whole race 1 hr and 11 mins.  
Overall it was a lot of fun and I would like to do it again next year

The Pumpkinman was fun! You're on for next year!
By the way, you guys are my blogging heroes! I only hope to be like you some day. Maybe I should add you as an administrator on my blog. :)
