Daddy is an IRONMAN!

We are so proud of Patrick. For the second year in a row, he competed in IronMan Texas. An IronMan consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run...all in one day. He finshed this year in just under 11 hours, which is just amazing. He trained so hard, and it all paid off! Go Daddy! We love you and are very proud of you!!

This is what a mass start looks like. MASS CHAOS!

Coming in from the bike. He was smiling and waved at us!

On the very hot 26.2 mile run.

I decided to run with him for a short distance. Even 15 miles into the marathon, he is faster than me!

The boys at the hotel on Friday. They loved our little mini vacation to The Woodlands...I think kids just love hotels!  I cannot believe how big my children are!
