Well it has been quite a while since my last post. I blame it partially on Zach borrowing my computer charger, partially on me being busy, and just on me for not doing it haha. Let's see I will start with a few weeks ago my grandparents and cousin Josh from Montana visited for a few days which was really fun! We went up to birch bay and went crabbing where I got to see all my little baby cousins :) Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of when they were here :(
I also did a triathlon with my dad on the 21st, the same day my grandparents and Josh went back home. It was such a cool experience! I am really proud because in March or so I told my dad that I wanted to do a triathlon this summer and he said we'd do it together and we did! Not only that but thank you Jesus for healing my ankle! I didn't think that after breaking my ankle and tearing every ligament possible in it in April that only a short 3 months and 1 week later I would complete my first triathlon! As for the triathlon itself, it was freezing when we arrived to the site at 6 in the morning, but I had a nice surprise when I was preparing for the swim and looked up to see Zach! I was so happy that he came! The swim was awful! 400 meters is so far swimming! The bike ride wasn't bad and surprisingly during the run at the end dad and I had enough energy to carry on a somewhat conversation haha. Next summer we plan on doing more! :)
Following the triathlon was a week full of camping! Tuesday with my dad and Wednesday-Sunday with my mom and the rest of the family plus uncle mark and his family in Idaho! It was really fun! On the way we had a tire blow out though....
This caused us to make another stop to buy tires which we had a total of 7 stops! Ridiculous! One day we went to the Silverwood theme park where we got the best ice cream ever! I took a picture but you can't see it very well....
Here is my Aunt Dawn getting ONE scoop!! At least at this shop! It was really like 5!
We all had our fun at the theme park, and at the not so sunny beach, and on our adventure to find an antique store in the middle of no where that turned out to be really just nothing. I'm so glad I got to spend time with my family and some extended family as well!
Last but not least here are some photos of a little gift I made Zach. It's one of those no sew fleece blankets. I picked the sharks because 1 he loves sharks! and 2 because it was the only thing I thought I had a chance at him liking, the store I went to didn't have a ton of selection. I rolled it up and tied it with scraps to kind of wrap it, he loved it ! :)
