Summer Fun Update

We can't believe that summer break is almost over! Mommy and Daddy go back to work on Thursday. We've been keeping busy and trying to squeeze in some more fun! We've been enjoying the pool, FINALLY went to the Airport Overlook to see the planes take off, squeezed in another Carowinds visit, and have been trying out different ice cream places. Here are some pictures....
We were the only ones at the pool for a
little bit.


Ayla and I got new mugs! We got to pick
whatever pictures we wanted to put on them.

My mug is all Sidney pictures.
This is the view at the Airport Overlook.





Pluto enjoyed the pool to himself during safety break.
Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a date night.



We met Aubrey and Maddox at Carowinds.

Ice cream stop #1
Ayla had mint chocolate chip.

I had cotton candy ice cream.

I do love tacos!!

BeBe and Pappy gave our Frozen table a makeover.
I may or may not have ripped the top of the Frozen table.
We love it!

We had our dental check up and we were
both cavity free! Yay!


Ice cream stop #2
Mommy had a Samoa Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich.

Daddy had a brownie ice cream sandwich.
Ayla and I both had cotton candy ice cream.

Yummy!

We sure are enjoying our summer!

Spartan Trifecta

 Yesterday we headed to Black Mountain, near Asheville, for another Spartan Race. Daddy decided to conquer his fear since last time he was unable to finish due to the altitude and water in his ear. He completed a "Super" which is between 8 and 10 miles with 30 obstacles!! Ayla and I ran another kid's race and got TWO medals! One for the race and a "Trifecta Medal" since we ran three races in 2018.
It was SUPER muddy and Ayla even ended up losing a shoe in the mud! Here are lots of pictures....lots and lots of pictures.....

We are ready! Pluto came but he had to
wait in the car.

Excited about our race!

Mommy loves a good photo op!


Posing with the bear.
Daddy actually saw a REAL BEAR on the
course!!



A picture with Daddy before our race.

I climbed over the wall all by myself!







We had to go through a creek and it was
pretty deep because of all of the rain!


It was fun going through all of the water!





"Spear" toss.




Ayla is such a good big sister and helped
me when I wanted her to.


Hydrating after the race is important!





We got Kona Ice after our race. Yum!


Watching the big race and waiting to see
if we could spot Daddy.




There he is!!!


Ayla lost a shoe somewhere in that mud!
A storm came through and they had to stop
the race for a little bit. We went back to the
car for a little bit. This is what it looked like
afterwards when we went back to see Daddy
finish his race!


We are proud of Daddy! That's the mountain
that he conquered!


We saw a rainbow on the drive home.
Our medal collections are growing!
