Go Dad Go - Guelph Lake Conservation Area Triathlon

Today Chad had his second triathlon - it was at Guelph Lake Conservation Area. Thankfully the rain and thunder did not come, so Matthew and I were able to go and cheer for Chad. Here are Chad and Matthew just before Chad is getting ready for the first leg - the dreaded swim! Spencer and Jenny are in the background - Matthew loved playing with Kuma (their dog) while we waited for Spencer and Chad to finish!! Congrats to Jenny for finishing her first tri earlier in the day :-)

Matthew and I had a snack break while Chad was on the bike...


Here's Chad just starting the final leg of the tri - the run!

Matthew was very happy to see Chad after the race - he was such a good boy watching everything while having some snacks, but was pleased to get out of the stroller and be up with his Dad :-) Chad and Spencer post race - great job guys!



Smith family post race - Matthew and I were so proud of Chad!

Happy Father's Day

Today I finally had my first ride in my wagon from uncle Sean and aunt Cathy. We had to out quickly because it's been thundering all day. Today is also Father's Day - I made my Dad a really neat card and gave him lots of hugs and kisses because he is the best Dad! I also called Grampy B and Grampy S - I am so lucky to have two great Grampies!!

June has arrived - yeah!

Riley has to put up with a lot of "love" these days. Matthew loves climbing and crawling all over him!
Neither Chad or I had ever been to Chuckie Cheese, so we went there today for lunch. The food wasn't very good, but it's easy to see why the kids love it with all the games and rides. Here's Matthew enjoying the slide in the toddler section.
It wasn't overly warm today, but the pool was a nice temperature, so Chad and Matthew opted for an afternoon swim.
This was a new game...Mom was a little nervous, but Matthew loved it! Every time he landed he would start counting again (one, two, three) for Chad to throw him in the air!
When asked, Matthew will kick away! He had such a great time swimming with Dad!
