Saturday and Sunday

On Saturday we packed up and left the American Suzuki Institute and started heading up to Duluth with a quick stop in Hudson, WI to pick up my friend and colleague Cathy. The boys were not super happy to be up bright and early on Saturday after playing with their new friend Michael, but I snuck in a picture anyways, as well as one of Matt (since he is usually the one taking pics).

Then we headed up to Duluth. Cathy and I were competing in the Brewhouse Triathlon in Duluth on Sunday and we needed to pick up our packets and drive the bike course so we would know where we were going.

On Sunday morning we made our way up to the Pike Lake area for the triathlon. It was really perfect weather, around 65-70 degrees. The sun made it hard to see the beach on the swim but we managed. Both Cathy and I finished (always our goal) and we even each managed to pass at least one person on the bike (another good goal). Cathy had trouble with an old stress fracture but managed to hobble her way into the finish line- yay! And for Cathy who will read this blog, when you spend enough time with us, you end up on our blog"

We did a short presentation about EdVisions Off Campus High School (the school we work "at") at a hotel on Canal Park and then we packed up the boys, the dogs and headed back to Hudson to drop off Cathy. Then we swung over to Chaska to drop of the boys at Grammy and Grampy's house to visit for a few days while I have some school meetings and Matt tries to get caught up on work from having last week off.
