Watching the Tour de France was too stimulating for
them. I loved it and saw every stage during
the three week race.
Betsi learned that all of the crashes happened when the bike slid
out from beneath the rider while on the slippery, white road markings. |

This is the international
space station passing overhead. Can't
you tell? :-)
Betsi was watching the 6:00pm news at 9:30pm when a story aired
about seeing the international space station flying by in 2 minutes. I
didn't have time to grab the tripod before taking this blurry shot
between the clouds. |
July 11, Saturday - NYC
We spent the weekend in NYC to check out the triathlon course. We
spent the afternoon at the USS Intrepid and dinner at Jekyll and Hyde's. See more
photos.
July 14, Tuesday - Ryan's 11th Birthday
Dinner and a movie with Jill B., Kathryn H., Timmy I., Roy H.,
Tim C., and Andrew D. It sounds low key, but the kids took it up
a notch.
July 17, Friday - Ryan's Band Camp Concert
 |
Ryan discovered band camp with your friends isn't
all play time. He learned a lot in four hours a day for four
weeks. |
July 18, Saturday - Swim Meet
Ainsley's last swim meet of the season. See more
photos.
July 24, Friday - Betsi's Childhood Home in New Jersey (1967-70)
We stopped by on our way to the NYC triathlon to see one of Betsi's
childhood homes. Mike
and Ann M. were hospitable to let us, the unannounced visitors, walk
through their house. See more
photos.
July 26, Sunday - New York City Triathlon
Team Betsi supporters at the end of the race.
She did it! It was a great experience. Every emotion was felt:
fear, joy, anxious, excited and by the end ROCK STAR! See more
photos.
July 27, Monday
Jeff and Ryan drive over 6 hours to Camp Shenandoah west of Staunton,
VA with the Boy Scouts for the week. Ryan loved it and earned
two merit badges for mammal studies and swimming. Ryan also learned
about first aid and shooting a .22 and took part in a day hike. The
food at the mess hall was... edible.
