First stop the corn palace in Mittchell Sd. Taylor is already through one outfit.(blizzard in the lap) brian was really calm. We must be on vacation!!!!

Finals are almost over so it is time to get ready to head out west for vacation. Looking forward to showing the girls lots of cool sights. We will blog with pictures as we progress!! Just have to prepare for the last test tomorrow morning.

Keeley and Taylor's Turtleman Triathlon

The girls competed in a triathlon on Sunday. They both did a really great job. Keeley started the time trial swim last, came out of the pool having passed two competitors, ended up finishing 3 off of the bikes and had a great run!!! They do not keep track of places, but she had to be first with how much time she made up!!!

Turtleman Triathlon

Saturday Brian competed in the Turtleman triathlon. As you can see by the pictures that I have attached weather was a problem, due to lightning the swim was reduced to running from the start shoot to the finish shoot. He did not get rained on during the bike, but defiantly got poured on during the run.
