Crazy to look at the calendar this morning and see that Labor Day is very much on the horizon. Partner up a couple of work trips over the next two weeks with a social weekend in Boston and there you go... Labor Day is basically here. This summer feels quick, but looking back, we managed to dodge the raindrops and get a lot of pretty cool stuff accomplished.
The coolest thing for the kids has been their nearly daily use of the pool. It's been fun to watch their comfort level rise -- from both of them basically refusing to get into the water in June to Ally swimming (for real) and Tyler launching Cannonballs off our deck in July was amazing to watch. We went from tentative chin-dips to total underwater submersion in a matter of weeks. A young Michael Phelps or Natalie Coughlin? Maybe or maybe not, but getting to that level of comfort in the water so quickly was awesome to witness.
We also had a fun (albeit wet) camping trip up to Grand Isle State Park, a very fun 5th of July Bash right here at Cadyland and managed to get a lot of home improvements completed as well.
Lauren has really thrown herself into cycling (although she also insists on continuing to train for the NYC Marathon). I am really psyched with this new development, as a) it gives me someone to ride with, and b) it validates any cycling purchases I end up wanting to make. Obviously, the second point is of more importance. There never seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything done, but we've both done an adequate job of getting out running and biking this summer, and will be looking forward to our fourth 100on100 race on Saturday followed by our first attempt at a century ride at the Mad River Century the following week. I think a few days off will be in order by August 24.
Two more weeks of summer to go... Hope yours has been a good one.
