Neal completed his second Ironman triathalon in May. He worked his tail off training and shaved about an hour off of his time from the last time he did it. These things are hard on our family but seeing the sense of accomplishment when he (and so many others) cross the finish line brings me to tears.
We got to the hotel and this gal wanted to know "where's the beach?"
Neal went to bed early the night before the race so we went out to explore a little.
I had the perfect, low key Mother's Day this year. Hearing Audrey tell me "Happy Mudders Day" was all I really needed but I do love the painting of Audrey and Mack that our friend did for us.
Audrey took a ballet class this spring on Saturdays. It gave us something to do while Daddy was training for Ironman. I can't think of much else cuter than 2 year old prancing around in tutus!
On May 1st, Tiger Trail had their annual Spring Show. I love that they put in the time and effort to do this for us. It was certainly one of the cutest things I have ever seen!
Once a year the zoo has a "members only" evening party called Zoobilee. It's not really all that exclusive since everyone and their brother has a zoo membership. We chose to be rebels and go on the less crowded Thursday night. It was a great time!
