Happy First Day of School!

The lone brother at the bus stop!

Shaun is off to middle school this year!

David's last year in Middle School!

The first day of middle school is 6th graders in the morning and 7th and 8th graders in the afternoon so Shaun came home from school and it was just the two of us.  We opted for a special lunch out at one of our favorite spots in town!

Today I participated in the Fit For a Cause Triple Challenge.  It's a bike, run, bootcamp race to raise money for breast cancer patients!  I had started doing the weekly bootcamps in the spring and all my hard work there was leading up to this event.  I even got the boys and the Doc to join in the fun!

I did it! 
5 miles on bike, 3 mile run and 10 bootcamp stations! 
I'm so proud of myself and thankful to everyone who supported me and told me I could do it!
I am strong enough!

The Family that Fit4cause triple challenges together stays together! So proud of the boys climbing walls, flipping tires and running the race! Next year they'll join me on the bike ride! We did it! 💪

After the challenge we headed to Boston to see Hello Dolly with the family!

Our annual family fun day this year was at Canobie Lake Park this year!  Still couldn't get David to try Untamed.  I honestly can't blame him!

David having such a great time on this super fun ride!

The emcee of the Twisted Circus show!  So fun!

We headed up to Maine yesterday to hang with our friends, we have lots of fun planned including bike rides and cookouts!

Today was my first 5+ mile bike ride.  I followed Charlie on his run this morning so I could start training for the upcoming Fit4cause triple challenge. And I didn't die! 😂🏃🚵‍♀️

Then we decided to take the kids out for a ride on the Belfast Rail Trail!
