As I've said before, a period of no blogs is a reflection of how busy our little life gets. This time around, it has been a busy and fun time with family and friends.
First, here are some pictures of the summer now gone. We had a really good one.
Donovan getting TV air time at the Vancouver Half Ironman. His future sponsors should take note...
Enjoying the sun at the beach 5minutes from our house
Donovan's last minute preparations before his first race.
Halloween came and went and it was a blast. Neighbors forewarned us of the amounts of kids, and the night lived up to its expectations. We estimate we handed out candy to about 400 kiddies. Woah. We went trick-or-treating, and Donovan, dressed up as Darth Vader, had a really good time. Almost all the homes in our neighborhood really get into it, and the streets were full of adults and children, everyone having a good time. It was very cool.
Donovan and I have been going to this indoor pool some 15minutes away from our house. It's a pretty neat, shallow set of pools, specifically designed for water fun and swim instruction. The bottom and sides of the pools are soft, the water warm and shallow, and there are a few water elements, different toys, and whole lot of other kids to play with. It's been a lot of fun for the two of us, and a great activity for this crappy weather we've been having lately.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and with it, Christmas. Donovan has been flipping pages of toy catalogs, making his imaginary wish list pages long. Theresa is equally excited, planning lights, decorations and all the cheer she enjoys spreading. It's not that I'm a grinch, but I don't get in to it as much as they do- they REALLY get into the spirit.
Sport-wise... my season officially ended after the win at Black Diamond. We looked into traveling to do Ironman AZ, but it was too costly. I wish I had raced more, but sometimes it is hard to line up all the details (time, $, etc). All in all, except for the windy day at Canada, it was a good (short) season.
Delayed BOO!, and early gobble-gobble-gobble to you.
Thanks for reading,
JC
