It's Iron Man for Dan-O

 Our Son In Law Dano

and daughter Amy

have been in Lake Havasu the last few days

where Dano competed in an

Iron Man

He thinks it's fun to

swim 2.4 miles

bike 112 miles

and then run 26.2 miles

all in one event.

Oh my

I admire Dano's
discipline
and
 hours of training

while he continues to run a business 

take good care of  his young family

and serve in his church.

Lake Havasu

lays along the California/ Arizona border

and is home

to the historic London Bridge,

which was included in part of the run.

We were happy to support Dano's quest

by taking care of the grandbabies while their parents

have been gone.

A few days were packed with so much! 

School programs 

honoring the Veteran's in our community.

Beautiful, sweet voices that brought tears

to my eyes as they sang

"I'm proud to be an American,

Where at least I know I'm free,

and I won't forget the men who died

who gave that right to me..."

There were trips to the park

in the perfect Arizona sunshine,

building

Childhood memories 

of climbing trees and riding bikes.

 Saturday morning baseball

games for Isaak

 And Flag Football

for 5 year old Noah

 While Kayla 

danced and sang around the trees.

 An afternoon spent at a 

neighborhood Fall Festival

 hours of bouncy rides

Hamburgers, hotdogs
and candy

 There was wall climbing for both Noah

and Isaak

I'm not sure who wins the prize for sleeping 

best at night.

It just might be me :)
