back to beach

Yes... we were back at the beach last night for Alex's triathlon club training session. It was another nice overcast, breezy day to hang out while Alex worked and Clara played.

I have only one photo to post...
We forgot to pack sand toys so Clara entertained herself by coating herself in sand and then running into the lake to wash it all off.

We didn't end up hanging out at the beach long since Jeff texted me from the parking lot (he was in the car on a conference call) that there had been an accident in the parking lot involving one of the moms (a friend of mine). Clara and I came up to hang out with my friend and help keep an eye on her son while the police sorted everything out. Long story short... a woman was giving her friend driving lessons... while pulling into a parking space she pulled in too fast, jumped the median and hit the car in front of her. In a panic, she threw it in reverse and flew backwards hitting my friend's van (snapping the axle on the back).... then panicking again, threw it back into drive and gunned it forward... jumping the median again and flattening the front of the car on the other side of the median. It was really lucky that no one was hurt given the number of people with children who were wandering in and around that parking lot!

Anyway... Alex went on with his training and his coach says that he's looking really good and ready for his first triathlon! He can't wait!

Last night the kids were worn out... especially Alex, he could barely keep his eyes open. In addition to tri-club, they had also had an hour long swim team training session earlier in the afternoon.

Thankfully today we have a lazy day with just one class this evening.
