What a weekend for the Grinde's!

Hello everyone. The Grinde's had a busy weekend. On Saturday morning we went to a Triathlon that my friend Ashely was in, she swam 1 mile in lake Bemidji, bike 13 miles and ran 3 miles. She did a great job, 1hr and 41 minutes! This was her first race ever and she did an excellent job!

After that we went to Blackduck woodcarvers festival with Papa Doug. We had a good time and there were so many people there. After that we showed Papa Doug around Bemidji all of the things that have changed since he was here last.

Jason took off Braden's training wheels again. If you have forgotten I will tell the story again. This spring Jason took off Braden's training wheels of his bike and he did a great job with out them but,he was a little scared with them off. Braden would not ride his bike, he would take Ava's trike instead. Jason then decided to put the training wheels back on his bike. We were noticing when Braden would ride his bike the training wheels would not touch the ground. Jason decided to ask Braden on Saturday when are we going to take these off your bike? Braden said we can do it now. Jason got his tools out they we off in a minute and so was Braden. He did it all by himself he did not need any help.
Sunday we went for a BIG bike ride. We went to one of the bike trails near Bemidji. We went about 5 miles today and we were even able to take some nice photos.Ava and I just before we took off on our bike ride.

We took a break on a bridge that crossed over Mississippi River. Braden took this photo of Jason and I and he did a pretty good job!

Here is our big boy without any training wheels. He is so proud of himself.
