ida's post race treat



10 km.

that's right, 10 km.  we started the weekend off right with the annual Loop the Lake race in invermere.  this year eli, cole and spencer did the race with chuck and i.  it was a run/walk with the 3 boys in tow.  spencer and chuck forged ahead of eli, cole and i.  we had fun.  lots of verbal prodding to keep pep in the boy's step.  the guys kept up the pace and did better than i ever thought they would.  they finished strong and ran through the finish line feeling good.  chuck/spencer rolled in at 1:10 and eli/cole/jess finished up at 1:35.  WAY TO GO!  super duper proud of you eli.  a big run and a big accomplishment.  we spent the rest of the day at the lake swimming and sunning and enjoying life.

you've got to enjoy life.  just enjoy it.  

the weather has been amazing.  just perfect.  warm and british columbia-ish.


while i was writing this post, eli stated his tooth was loose.  his last baby tooth.  he sat down beside me, leaned over to CJ and with minimal force the tooth fell out.  no blood, no nothing.  done.  baby tooth phase over and out.  10-4 good buddy.
