Beautiful Weather+QT with my little family+Ironman Florida=AMAZING weekend!

What an awesome November weekend in Florida!  It started off with a hike in this beautiful fall weather with Dave and the pup!  Lucy loved it!!  She was darting in and out of the woods, running up and down the hills, and chasing everything that moved.  Meanwhile, I was enjoying the perfect fall temps and the changing leaves.

It was great to spend some QT with the hubs since we've both been working so much!

A little grasshopper decided to hitch a ride on my shoe :)

We then got up bright and early Saturday morning to head to Panama City for Ironman Florida....what an AWESOME experience!  Our good friend Kara was racing and did a fantastic job!  We are so proud of her and her accomplishments!  Every single athlete there competing was truly an inspiration, from the pros to the final finisher.  Watching each person cross the line and hearing those words "You Are An Ironman" gave me chills and made me slightly emotional.  Seeing the smiles on the faces, hearing the cheering of the families, and seeing the emotions of the finishers was so incredible.  I hope one day I hear the words "Khara, You Are An Ironman."  Only one way to get there....Let the training begin!  

Go Kara!!!! :)

One proud family!

The end to a fun day!  :)  (Except Lucy was not happy
with the gentle leader :P)
