Happy Memorial Day

We had a fun memorial day with friends and family. Our day began early as the girls and I headed downtown to look for Mark as he began the Capital of Texas Triathlon. We were able to score a close parking spot so we could quickly head over to the South First bridge to see if we could find him swimming in the Lady Bird Johnson Lake. We sure did! It was like playing Where's Waldo, but we were able to find him easily. We were looking for a man wearing a yellow swim cap, and he was one of the crazy few not wearing a wetsuit. We were able to watch him swim right under us and then back under us on his way to the transition area where he hopped on his bike. We then headed over to Cesar Chavez street where we popped a squat on the curb for 45 minutes or so to watch him speed past us several times to complete his 25 miles. He saw us each time and shouted out to his little girls. They were busy getting filthy. Then after a potty break in the W Hotel, we met up with Rita (aka "Mimi") and tried to locate Mark once more while he was running. We saw him once but them missed him finish up the triathlon because I wasn't expecting him so soon. He finished 20 minutes ahead of his target time! Woo hoo!!! We were all so proud of him! He didn't seem tired at all. Then our active Memorial Day ended with a delicious fajita backyard dinner with friends.

Looking for their Daddy in the water.


See him? He's the only fool not wearing a wet suit.

P.U.!! Daddy you're stinky!


Boy, being spectators is hard work!


That deserves some ice-cream..


And a bath!
