.: Olivia the Athlete!

This past Saturday the town parks and recreation department had a children's triathlon at the local park. Steve stayed home with the baby so we didn't have to bring her in the heat and we headed over with a few friends. It was extremely hot on Saturday morning so we made sure to bring plenty of water and loaded on sunblock! Liv and her two friends, KileyJo and Caroline all participated in the the 3rd heat. They had to run a small race, then get on their bikes/tricycle and instead of swimming they ran through sprinklers to the finish lane. The event was packed but we had a fun time and Olivia was exhausted by the time it was over! Some of the older kids (it was ages 2-6) were really racing but the majority of the kids were just having a great time. When Olivia started running, she was screaming "Running..Running!!" We made our way to the tricycle and it took over 5 minutes for me to convince Olivia to just put her helmet on. She is really getting the hang of peddling and we will be buying her a big girl bike in the near future :) By the time the biking section was over the poor thing was exhausted and we just slowly walked through the sprinklers to the finish line. Each kid got their trophy at the end of the race and it was a great morning followed by a great nap for Olivia:)
