Spudman Triathalon Winners!

We traveled to Burley, Idaho to see David, Jon, and J.O. compete as a team in the Spudman triathalon. J.O started the event by swimming in the chilly Snake River for 1.5 k. He streaked by Jon in his wet suit, but luckily found him so he could transfer his ankle band. Then Jon roared off on his bike for an intense 40 K (25 mile) bike ride. After a thrilling ride Jon passed the band to David who ran the final 10K on flat ground until mile 4 &5 up a killer hill and then down across the finish. Each guy finished his event in record time and this terrific team won their event!! Gram and Trisa cheered the boys and Keith snapped pictures on this memorable day.

P.S. When the winners were posted the next day, we were happy to hear that the boys' team placed first!!! Way to go guys!

Beach Buddies

We visited Deb and David in sunny CA, home of beautiful beaches. Deb drove us to New Brighton beach near Santa Cruz. We sat in our beach chairs, ate a picnic, and read our books. Deb and I walked to Sea Cliff beach to see a smelly old ship covered with sea birds. We waded in the waves, watched the Junior Lifeguards splash in the sea, and saw fishing boats with huge nets. Many thanks to Deb, our tour guide and taxi driver, for a memorable day.

Cruising in the Convertible

Keith's favorite toy is his 1985 Mercedes convertible. It's the perfect car for cruising on the back roads because on the freeway it's pretty breezy. Keith has had more fun with this car than anything else he has owned. Here we're taking Madelynn and Aurianna for a spin on Memorial Day. Top down weather goes from May through September with a break during July and August when it's too hot. Teenagers, middle agers, and old agers love it and we get many honks while we're driving. We feel like Remington Steele and Laura Holt.

Family Party

We celebrated Father's day by having a barbeque and cake. The children and grandchildren enjoyed being together.
