The Girls' Favorite Pastime

As has been noted numerous times on this blog, our girls LOVE triathlons. The Budke Spring 2011 Triathlon took place one evening a week ago in our living room with all three Budke girls competing :) This is totally child driven, but Josh and I love it. Seeing their fun competitive spirits come out (and seeing that the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree!) is a lot of fun! Maryn is a schemer and is always figuring out a way to win and outpower Makenna even though she's smaller. We saw numerous side swipes, corner cuts and stiff arms out of Maryn (her Daddy was proud!) Makenna on the other hand keeps going and going and going until she's sure she's got the win under her belt. She has work ethic and determination that totally reminds me of her Daddy :) Most importantly, I love the fact that my girls think that exercise is fun and enjoy doing it together!

Somehow I completely missed Maya in the pictures... most likely since she never showed up to our "Awards Ceremony" (complete with medals) at the end of the race and the fact that she was running au naturale for part of this race ;)
