Show Low, Arizona...

We just returned from a quick trip to Show Low for a half Ironman that Matt was entered in. We had a great time.
On Our Way.....

As with tradition.. We went to see the Snowflake Temple. It was BEAUTIFUL! It was set high up on a hill and you could see it as we drove into town.

We then went to the race area so Matt could register and the kids could explore. It is a beautiful lake and area. We will probably camp there next year like our other friends, The Montoyas, do.

We stayed in Snowflake which is only 19 miles away and we had the Hotel to ourselves (or so it seemed) and the kids played in the pool forever. They were so tired they barely made it through their showers without falling asleep. :) I think Big A might need a hair cut! :)

Double A trying to get her swim cap on... it's a little hard when your hair isn't pulled back.

We woke up at 4:00 to get ready to leave for the race. We were at the race by 5:00. Early morning for the kiddos.. But they were troopers!

Getting set up and ready to go...
