Running to transition after finishing swim, wetsuit in hand, but running the 400yards to my bike barefoot and wet was not fun! Still smiling though!! 1 down two to go!

halloween pics

So for not posting sooner - but here are pics from halloween and one of the thomas train that Grandmom P took taylor and Walter to. Needless to say Halloween was supposed to be a wizard of Oz theme (with Walter revolting and being Darth Vader). I was dorothy, taylor was to be toto (orginally, then he decided to be the lion, and finally it was so hot on halloween he went as superman!) Ali was to be Glenda the good witch and she was till halloween night where she changed to Princess Jasmine and Walter went as the necked cowboy (seriously don't ask)! See group photo! :) All in all - we have a huge selection of costumes that make even madam trousou jealous! :)
