We spent the last week at the lake about 45 minutes from our home. We started our vacation in the Twin Cities to compete in a triathlon. I ended up getting a terrible neck pain and could not participate. It was a very down day, but Greg did very well. He is an incredible athlete. He placed very well and had his best performance of the year. We arrived at the lake on Saturday afternoon and hung out. Early Sunday morning we woke up and drove into our hometown for a duathlon that Greg and Uncle Keven participated in. It was scorching hot outside, but Greg and Uncle Keven did well and were satisfied with their results (they did do a triathlon the day before!).
Brooks had a blast eating Cheetos (at 10:00 am--maybe I should not admit this) and playing in the dirt. Look closely at his face. You may think it is just cheese on his face, but really it is mostly dirt. I am sure I won't be winning any "Mom of the Year" awards based on this day. Brooks had fun though and was able to be the 100% pure boy that he is.
After the race we headed down to the river to cool off. Brooks had no fear and was only happy if we were not hanging on to him and he had freedom to crawl up the river. Of course we did hang on to him--but he was happiest when he had freedom.

Brooks started with clothes on and eventually went down to his diaper. Shortly after that he was completely naked. It was so hot that getting cool and taking a swim was very good for him.
Brooks was amazing in the water. He loved crawling on the rocks.
We all got dried off and headed out to the lake for the start of 6 glorious days...it is so hard to be home.
