Pulse-Splash Pedal Dash

Ryan's third triathlon.


1/2 mile bike

1/4 mile run

He ran this one all by himself and did a great job!

And Dad ran up to the finish with Ryan (because Ryan usually runs to the finish line with Bob).

We finished with multiple trips down the big inflattable water slide.

First Day of School

Our little boy is growing up so fast! This was his first day of Kindergarten!!! He has been at Nampa Montessori since he was four and he loves school and Ms. Chris.

Ali takes Ryan to school most days but he needed a picture of it today since it was the first day of school:).

Banff and Lake Louise

You can't go to Canada without seeing the Canadian Rockies. They are beautiful. So we took the scenic drive back and went through them with a stop over in Banff.

Bob and Ryan on the gondolla in Banff.

Hotel nestled at the base of the rockies.

Lake Louise--the water is the oddest color. It is because the lake is supplied by a glacier and the color comes from the silt.

Ryan and I at Lake Louise.

Ironman Calgary 70.3

We finally reach the even that we went to Calgary for--Calgary 70.3.

Pre-race photo-op.


Bob headed out onto the bike along with a few of his ironfriends.

Go Bob Go...

And out onto the run. I missed the finish line photo because my phone and I were having issues.

Calgary tower

While in Calgary we had to take in the sites so we made our way to the Calgary Tower--it's like a Canadian Space Needle.

The view from below.


Ryan with a Calgary cowboy hat

They have a glass floor on part of the ring at the very top. Ryan loved laying on it and seeing the city activity far below.

Bob and Ryan in the tower.

Calgary Zoo

The Calgary Zoo was awesome.

Ryan with the flamingos.


Ryan rode the kiddie train around the zoo.

And rode bare back on a zebra:).

Tennis and Swimming

This summer Ms. Chris offered tennis and swimming and Ryan loved it! The guys she found to coach tennis were awesome with the kids. And Ryan has always loved the water. In case you don't know it I think that Nampa Montessori and Ms. Chris are the best!!


Ryan patiently waiting his turn.

I love that intensity.,.I thnk he got it from Bob.

Ryan and his friend..I think they were dinosaurs this day.

Wahoo!

Sunriver

What do we do while Bob is out doing his race???


Throw rocks (big ones).


Make stick antenae..

Just hang out in the shade.

And Ryan "drives" the car with his little bike attached to the bike rack on top.

Bob also did the Pacific Crest triathlon again this year.

A high five to take Bob in to the finish line.
