Sheila and Aly watching as they swim. And for those who don't know they are cousins:) Pretty cool, huh?
Tanner checking his time which I thought was fast. And then dummy me, I stepped forward to take T's picture and Ali "dog" saw him and ran up to him just a-wagging her tail,,,ooops sorry you had to stumble over her:)
Ali saw another golden on the other side of the finish line:)
Aly, Sheila and me

Alan and Sheila watch from the sidelines:)


Tanner comes in with an arm up and a BIG SMILE:) GREAT JOB Tanner. So proud of you:)
Ummm my pictures got out of order here. But this is a lot of huffing and puffing and cooling off after the race. Friends came over to congratulate the boys on a good race:)

Again pictures are out of order,,,sorry:) This is Hunter going across the finish line at last:)
Hunter gets high fives from dad and Sheila..he finishes in 3 hours and 2 min. finishing third in his age group.
Tanner gets high fives from the fam when he finished the race in 2 hours 52 min. Finishing second in his age group. Awesome T!!

This is how I see this wonderful event. The boys and I have the same genes so if they can do it,, theoretically, I should be able to do it right....NOT!!!!!!!!!! Good job boys:) Love you Mom:)
Number 1 all the way around:)

Happy Dad Happy boys, but TIRED!!:)
