There have been so many activities going to this summer, that it has at times been hard to keep track of. But man has it been fun! Softball, swimming, running, biking…there has by no means been a shortage of things to do. What makes it even better as we have been able to do all of this as a family! Nick and Molly had softball all summer. Megan had her final season this summer swimming. 4 of the 5 of us competed in the Kampeska triathlon in July. There have been many running races, and bike race/events throughout the whole summer, and continuing on yet through the next several months. Parents out there…stay active right along with the kids. You have to stay in shape just to keep up with them! With all of these different events, the amount of people you meet and talk with has been too numerous to count. It is a great social event to be able to talk about not only your childrens health and how to maintain it, but yours as well! Here are some of the activities from this summer:
Here Megan is with a bunch of her swim friends, not only from Watetown, but from around the state while at the last day of the state swim meet at the end of July. Friends made forever!
Molly and Nick both played softball all summer, and here is Nick with his team mates as they won the 16 and under division at State softball tournament in July! Great memories.
Here I am with Nick, Sarah, and Molly (Megan was at a swim meet!) at the 2013 Kampeska triathlon! All four of us competed as individuals for the entire event…first time for Nick and Molly! It is a great way to spend time together as a family, and have some friendly competition. I was ahead of Nick the entire way, but he caught me on the run, and beat me by 3 seconds! I can’t run as fast anymore. I am just thrilled he loves it!
So summer can be very busy, but you can have a lot of fun. You have heard me before say that you need to take advantage of this weather while we have it. Get out there and enjoy it. Kids, keep moving. Parents, you set the example, and lead by example. You have heard me say this before too. Above all, have fun!
Keep moving everybody!
