Are you ready for some football...

We are getting ready for football season in a big way.  Pre-season games are on.  The Buckeyes season starts next weekend....game on!

 

Plymouth Plantation

 

 

What better to do on one of the last great beach days of the year...go to Plymouth Plantation of course! J/K We did have great weather. Sunny and breezy. The kids got a kick out of the period dressed Pilgrims and Indians - I mean Native Americans. After the plantation, we went to downtown Plymouth for a waterfront festival. It was big so we meandered our way through to the Mayflower II. Kids were hungry and tired. Not a good combination. Long story short...we made a mad dash out of there. We had overstayed our welcome. Dinner on the way home at the Waterfront Grille made for a nice day!

Timberman - Ironman 70.3

Today, Jay raced in his first half Ironman Triathlon.  He did awesome!  Finished in 5:47 and change.  It was on Lake Winnipesaukee so we were able to combine the weekend with a visit to Papa's farm.  Ron watched with us which was key since he knew his way around these parts and I'm not sure I'd want to do it alone with both kids all day.  They did great but a lot of waiting at times.

We have our signs all ready to go -

 GO DADDY GO -

 After seeing daddy twice on the bike, we headed to breakfast.  Had to kill a few hours but we did feel a bit guilty eating while Jay was still out there working away.  Finally we made it to a good spot where we were able to see him on the run twice.

 Then we headed to the finish. 

 Waiting for daddy to come through -

 Here he comes (ignore Paige's pink bunny that she held out for daddy) -

 There he goes - one in the books!
