Super Heroes Never Give Up

Back in June Grant participated in Yakima's Gap 2 Gap race with a few of his friends.  It's a relay race (with age groups ranging from six to adults) consisting of running, biking, skating and obstacle course legs.  Grant's team was The Avengers and he was able to test out his new birthday present in the biking leg.

Here he is after receiving the wrist band from his teammate who did the running portion.  It was definitely a high energy scene.  Parents were yelling for their kids to go faster, people were everywhere, competitors all over the course.  I noticed that Grant was getting a little nervous before his turn just because the atmosphere was so hyped up.  Once he got going on the course, he was flying!!

Grant did great and enjoyed being part of the race.  And yes, his left arm is casted.  That was from jumping off the couch and punching the ground Hulk-style one evening while I was at work.  Ryan had to take him to the ER and Grant got his first cast.  Exciting times.

 Tate cheered on Grant and is excited for when he's old enough to participate.

 Grant with his teammates, Luke, Jordan and Micheal.  They had a blast. 

 Later that day, the boys were able to go to a birthday party and came home with this balloon.  I had to work that evening as well but saw this nice piece of art work the next day.  Ryan said Tate and Grant were playing all afternoon and had decorated this balloon as their team motto, translation "Super Heroes Never Give up, by Grant and Tate.  We love this Balloon".  I love the super hero picture drawn on the side.

And this picture is just because The Duke is so sweet!!
