Alaska in August
We were excited about our trip to Alaska this year to see family and also help out with the first annual Crystal Lake Triathlon. Kevin, Kurt's brother put together a 'sprint triathlon' to help raise money for his non-profit dental ministry. It was also just a great social event for lots of people to get together!
The race happened near the family cabin, so much of our time was spent up their...
Kurt and I were introduced to the game of Corn Row (?) (a beanbag tossing game) and Kurt, his dad, and brothers loved playing...
Maddie really loved getting dirty at the lake and her cousins Jasmine and Sierra really enjoyed showing her the ropes...
Story-time with Kevin's girlfriend, Colleen.
Love that face!!
Let the races begin!
(For those of you wondering...neither Kurt or I participated in the race-our excuse was that we didn't have time to train! Next year...next year ;))
Unfortunately, it did rain the entire race!! Bummer for the racers, but everyone still finished great!
Ummm....brrrr...
Not exactly good motivation to get ready for next year!!
Colleen finished in 2nd place for the girls! Way to go!
A little chilled but happy to be done.
Maddie was pretty excited about the race!
She was so happy in the dirt!!?
Back in Anchorage, we hung out a lot with the family, and one afternoon visited a nearby park.
Sierra and Madelyn
Sweet, almost 5, Jasmine!!
The double slide thing was great for Maddie
