Father's Day Weekend!

We had quite the Father's day weekend!! Mark and Grete came into town so things were busy! Saturday morning we left early to cheer on Katie at her second QC triathlon. We caught her and the end of her run and followed her into the park. Carter was so cute. He wanted to run and follow her so he hoped out of the stroller and started sprinting into the park. The volunteers were really nice and cheered him on like he was in the race :). He was pumping his arms and running so fast and looked at Matt and said, "sign me up!" The end of the run is about a mile into the park so needless to say that Carter ran out of steam. Katie did great and finished faster than she did two years ago but did end up with pretty nasty blister on her heel.




After the tri, we headed back to my parent's for lunch and the pool!! The weather was great and Carter showed off for his Uncle Mark by jumping off the board and sides of the pool. He was pretty much Mark's shadow the entire weekend and I love that they are buddies. Saturday night was dinner and the Club and Isla did slightly better this time around but still had her crabby moments :).



Sunday was Isla's baptism!! Our favorite pastor resigned from the church and he stayed long enough to baptise her, which meant the world to us. He did a wonderful job and let Carter help him put the water on Isla's head. It was really adorable and I am kicking myself for not videotaping it. Isla did pretty well. She slept through the service until it was her turn up front. She fussed a little but was quiet while Pastor Del walked her up and down the aisle showing her off to the congregation. Carter followed Del running up and down the aisle as well :). We had lunch at my parent's after the baptism and then it was time for Mark and Grete to leave :(. But we are excited because we will get to spend an entire week with them at the ocean later this summer.

After everyone left, it was finally time for Matt to relax. Poor Matt! All he wanted for Father's day was to relax and we had such a busy morning. So to wind down we headed out to the pool where Matt was able to hang out and drink some beer with Ryan! All and all it was a great weekend!!
