Our Tragic Accident

Well, I honestly didn't know that a dog could jump a 6 foot fence. I also didn't know that our neighbor got a new dog. But apparently, they did, and both Alex and McKailey saw the dog jump the fence and the dog found Floppy, our bunny, and thought it was a toy. (Floppy was out playing in the backyard) So, Floppy died tonight. It was a pretty sad night. Alie had a hard time and kept crying (she is a huge animal lover). So, we talked to the neighbors and she is giving the dog back tomorrow. The neighbor was very sorry. We are very grateful the dog didn't hurt our kids.

I think I have lost my mind...

Seriously,
I don't know what I was thinking. But we did it anyways- we did a sprint triathlon! I never dreamed of doing something like that ever. But Alex did it, so I thought why couldn't I? So, we swam 500 yards, biked 12.2 miles and finished off with a 5k (on a gravel road with 1/2 of it being a little up hill). I was upset during the swim part because that was suppose to be my easy part and my goggles kept filling up with water when usually that is not a problem. (And no, I didn't try to use that as an excuse). Don't worry- I still beat Alex on the swim part. Then- well, he beat me on the rest. He took 2nd place with the men and I took 5th place out of the women (which in my division there was only 7 people). But hey, my only goals was to not stop and to not be last. So, I am all good.







I went and ran with my friend too, who I dragged to the race. And guess what? She loved it and wants to do it again next year! I'm not so sure.
