King of the Tri!

We have just come home from a very busy weekend.  We went to Kingscliff for Harrison and Brad to compete in the Kingscliff Triathlon.  Harrison also ran in the 5km fun run the day before the Tri (we all wish we had his energy).

 P1010432

Here he is approaching the finish – being a fun run it was a mix of adults and kids.  Harrison was the first kid back and beat quite a few adults too!

P1010440 Sam entertains us at Breakfast afterwards.

P1010442

Back at the apartment that afternoon Will and Sam decided to try out the pool.  Seeing its only just starting to warm up weather wise we thought they would be out in 2 minutes.  We were wrong – perhaps the doctor removed their sense along with their tonsils?

Next was Daddy’s turn and the boys had fun playing in the sand while waiting for him to swim his 1.5km in the ocean.

P1010513 P1010514

Here he comes…

P1010522 P1010528

Off on his bike for his 30km ride.

P1010533

Meanwhile it was presentation time for Harry’s age group – he came in 9th :) Here he is getting his medal.

P1010536 P1010538 P1010539

He was also lucky enough to have his registration number pulled out of the lucky draw and he won a brand new tri suit and ice cream pass :) Mummy was just as excited as his current suit is on its last legs and this will save her $80!

P1010541 

The boys found ways to amuse themselves while Daddy ran his 10km. Will played his DS.

P1010552

Harry supported the Surf Lifesavers sausage on bread stall.

P1010554

Sam played with Daddy’s crocs!

P1010555

P1010559

Daddy crossed the finish line in a great time beating his last Olympic distance time that he did in Byron in May. Exhausted now we packed up and headed home!

Don’t say one day…

that day will never come! We are loving all the great theme park annual pass deals.  This year we have the Dreamworld/ Whitewater World ones and here we are having some fun :)

Two boys and an operation…

Will and Sam recently had to have their tonsils and adenoids removed.  They were extremely brave and very good patients but very sad and sore when they woke up! Here are the before shots…P1010337 P1010340 P1010347 P1010348

Now for the after…

P1010349 P1010350 P1010351 P1010352 P1010354 P1010355

A card from Will’s classmates really helped to cheer him up :)

They are both almost fully recovered now and the best news is…no more tonsillitis!!!!
