My parents arrived last week the day after my Birthday. It been a great week or celebrating. Yes we celebrated all week. Especially with the 4th of July. Love that my Birthday is so close to the 4th sometimes because it just seems to stretch into one long celebration.
We too the kids to the World's Oldest Rodeo and it was actually my first rodeo. It was a lot of fun. Both kids sat through the entire show with wide eyes!
We celebrated the 4th with some friends who live in Anthem. Unfortunately it poured rain that day. We tried to go join all the festivities the town was having a a park but it was cold and wet. We ended up just hanging out back at the house and grilling. Later we drove to watch the fireworks as the rain had all cleared up.
On Friday I made a big purchase and got a new road bike. As I mentioned in my Luna Post I was thinking about getting a new bike. Ok so basically I wasn't "thinking" I had already made up my mind. I ended up traveling down to Anthem to a local shop called Bicycle Vibe. I spent about two hours with the sales guy Kevin getting fitted and testing our various bikes. I chose a beautiful new Trek Madone road bike. I love it. It is so comfortable and shifts so smooth. I also love the sound the all carbon frame makes when you really get going! My next triathlon is in August and I can't wait to see how it performs on race day!
Here are a few photos from the week:
