IRON woMAN!!!

We spent the weekend in St. George watching my sister Michelle and her husband do the Iron Man! It was one of the craziest events I have ever seen. It was really something neat to be a part of. These athletes are so passionate about life and what they do. It was an awesome atmosphere. After 140 miles of swimming, biking, and running, they finished together, holding hands, with about 15 minutes to spare. (They planned it that way.) It was such a fun experience to be a part of and we are so proud of them! They conquered a goal of theirs and it was awesome to share it with them. We spent 2 nights in a great hotel and swam, which the kids just loved. We even got plenty of exercise chasing them around at different checkpoints, being their paparazzi. It was such a fun weekend and we're sad that it went so quickly! Here's a few pics of the event :)
