Tour de Cure


On Saturday my dad rode 84 miles in the Tour de Cure! Wow... it blows my mind. He did an awesome job and probably would have kept going but we surprised him by showing up to cheer him on and he wanted to save some energy to play with his grandsons afterwards. We had originally planned for Garrett and the boys to go and my Mom and I to attend a wedding shower but the boys and I got sick a few days prior and we didn't think we would be well in time to attend. On the morning of the event the  boys were doing much better and I was doing mostly better so the four of us decided to drive in and surprise my Dad!




We were blown away by the size of the Texas Motor Speedway. It was so confusing to navigate too! Thankfully my Mom and her friend Robbie were already there cheering him on and Robbie was able to to lead us to them!






22 mph over the finish line!

Just a day at the park


We went out to the park today so that Ethan could ride his new balance bike. He promptly proclaimed it "cool" and was excited to ride it.


Landon thought his own ride was pretty cool too and was pretty chill while Ethan practiced riding his bike. Today was mostly about walking while on the bike and practicing steering.



It was also about sliding



And swinging



 And Chewing on fists.


Oh and eating a late picnic lunch. After almost two hours of fun we were all tired and ready to go. Well, at least the tired part. I can think of one little guy who was ready to do it all over again.
