Late Posting from Labor Day Weekend

On Labor Day weekend, we packed the family up and headed to Des Moines, Iowa.  Matthew had qualified for the Hy-Vee Triathlon National Championships with his finish time from the Giant Eagle Triathlon.  I was excited because my dad and Diane as well as Matt's parents, Jim & Sherry were meeting us in Des Moines and staying at the same hotel.  Jim also competed in the triathlon.
Spending some fun time in the pool with the kids




Eating breakfast in the hotel lobby the morning of the triathlon.  The start was delayed due to rain.
Alexa is giving her legs a rest while Grandpa helps us look for Matt and Jim.  We wanted to wish them luck before the start.



We found Matt testing out the water temperature.
This is Matt's age group getting ready to start.  There is a video at the bottom.
This is where the athletes exited the water and ran towards the transition area.
Grandma McGrew was able to get the kids cow bells.
Hurrying to cheer for Jim.
Matthew just finished!  He did great.
