Ferris, Donkey Kong & Fast Times of Summer!

In the spirit of Ferris Bueller, I'll say, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile you can miss it."



Summer = fast. Here are a few captured moments:


- Rollin' with Donkey Kong: Track camp was fun, we all spent time playing (yes that's a Donkey Kong monster truck)! Read my earlier posts about track camp:

- Fields, fireworks, freedom: I spent the 4th with my family -- fireworks, lake swimming, food and fun as a fam.


Trails & TRX: I celebrated freedom by running on the trails and later enjoyed my TRX.

SuperCorn & Burnsides Bridge

Next week our kids have doctor appointments, soccer team meetings and school registration—school starts September 1! Tick tock.

It's been a fun, full summer:

- first swim team experience for our oldest (go Sharks!)

- swim lessons for everyone

- a few rounds of illness & meds

- a boys-only trip to Gettysburg and Antietam (see above pictures)

- time at the farm fishing and playing

- eating out of our garden

- several sprint tris: Lake Mills, Pardeeville, Iron Girl Racine (2 more to go!)

- my first news interview

- a chance to meet Craig Alexander, 3x defending IM World Champion

- weekly bootcamp workouts with my Village Athletes

- weekly swim date with my husband

- new swimsuits! Our toddler pointed at the unicorn on my new Splish swimsuit & said, "SuperCorn!" It makes me smile.

Questions for You:

- Have you smelled fall in the air yet?

- When does school start where you live?

Summer Running

After a long cold winter, and wet spring, it's starting to get hot!
