papou is an ironman!

over the weekend we took heath on his first road trip to coeur d'alene in idaho. we went to visit yiayia, papou, and uncle sean who were there because papou was competing in an ironman. so cool! it was really fun and exciting to see bob compete in his fifth ironman. the whole thing is super impressive. the ironman triathalon consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride, and  a marathon 26.2 mile run, completed without a break. i know... you probably need to take a nap just after reading that. i really loved being there for the event. the thing is organized really well (you know i appreciate that) and you just want to cry about every single person that crosses the finish line because come on... what an accomplishment! we got to see papou start his second lap on his bike, transition from the bike to run portion, and cross the finish line. it is really tricky to find people on the course and correctly time when they will be coming by, but we tried our best. bob had a great time... a little over 12 hours and was totally okay right after the race. i would have just been passed out on the ground or something. heath and beckett both did really well on the drive and becektt loved getting to spend time with family. heath probably loved it too... it's hard to say, since he is just a baby and all. in the end, we had a successful first little trip! yeah!
