First Olympic Triathlon

 Saturday I did the Magic Man Triathlon in by Twin Falls.  So much fun.  I am definitely am going to make it a yearly event.  I had no idea what I was doing and I am pretty sure my $5 wet suit from the youth Ranch slowed me down.  But I made my goal to do it under 3 hours and I did it in 2:56 and ended up getting 2nd overall in the women by 2 minutes because of some really stupid mistakes like not going faster.
 I really wonder how many people were laughing at my wet suit.

 At the finish line. Tyler said I looked like I was just starting the run rather than finishing.  
 The support group.
 And my medals. My goal for next year is to do it in 2 hours and 45 minutes.  woot woot!

Chicken Torture

Talon had a great time the other night chasing the chickens around the backyard until he smacked his face against the side of the house.  Than after that he got mean and decided he did not want them by the door and grabbed them by the tail feathers and threw them.  It was really funny.

GOLF?

All Tyler wanted to do this weekend was go to the driving range and hit golf balls.  Yes, it is true, tyler is getting into golf.  Luckily his brother Jake called and wanted to go, we were in Pocatello so we went.  I still don't get why they would rather golf than climb.Even Talon is getting into it.  He likes to take the golf  clubs and bang them on the floor.
 Talon was entertained with beer caps and nasty water.


 Afterwards Jake took us to a rope swing in which was really fun and refreshing in the 90 degree weather.



Memorial Day Weekend


  • Tyler got Friday off for Memorial weekend so he went fishing with my Dad and Uncle Ryan.  He caught 3 Brown Trout.  Doesn't he look like a proud fisherman.  I love his smile in this picture.


Saturday was rainy and nasty almost all day.  What better to do in the rain than go to Lava and sit in the Hot Springs!  Talon eventually had fun in the water.

Experimenting with our new camera.  
It looks like Tyler is trying to drowned me then decided not to.
 
Tyler and Talon.  Doesn't Talon look like he is having so much fun.  Ha, it took awhile for him to figure out what was going on.
 On Monday we went to the City of Rocks!! Grandma and Grandpa Poole came and played with Talon so got some real climbing in.
Talon enjoying the fire in his new camp chair. He likes to try and blow the fire out, he will babble something, point and blow.  


 Talon climbing his first rock, he did great! Sorry the video is sideways, Tyler thinks he's taking a picture.
