San Antonio/Austin Triathlon

For Memorial Day, we packed up and headed to San Antonio with Emily and David.  First up, was some fun at Schiltterbahn! While we all had a blast swimming and riding the water roller-coasters (in the freezing cold water I might add), Allen and Braedyn decided they wanted to add a little more danger to the trip.  Danger in the form of the SKYCOASTER!

Here are the boys getting suited up.

Then they boarded the lift that would take them up to be hoisted into the sky.


And, then they were hoisted!

And, let go at the TOP!

It is hard to tell how high they were, but they were HIGH!!! 

The next day it was time to get Daddy all checked in for his Olympic Triathlon in Austin.  Honey and Sashi had the big kids, so the baby got a little alone time with Mommy and Daddy.

 All checked in!

Time to carb load with the BIGGEST pizza EVER!
 The next morning it was RACE TIME!
Getting ready in transition.
All ready to race!
Emily and David came to cheer him on!


Out of the water and on to the bike!

Cruising along on the bike. 

He DID IT! We are so proud of Daddy!
 It was time to celebrate on the way home with a large chocolate shake from Whataburger!

 We had such a fun weekend, that we might just make it a Memorial Day tradition!
