Dear Zach,
We had our first family camping adventure this weekend. I did the Mooseman Triathlon in Bristol, NH and we spent the night before camping out with Dave and Michala. It was more like camping-lite, since we were really just in a tent in a big field with a bunch of other people doing the race. But it was still fun to sleep outside.

Since triathletes are out of their minds and do everything way too early, this was one of the first times we got to wake YOU up in the morning before you woke US up!
Zach... already tired. And he's not the one racing!
It was a long day and you were pretty exhausted by the end, but mommy kept you entertained.
Mommy, Zach and the Moose!
It definitely wasn’t my best race. The last event – the run – was especially hard that day. Thinking about getting to see you when I finished kept me going. In the end, it was all worth it.
Dad and Zach after the race
We were supposed to camp out another night after the race, but you were a little too worn down and cranky from being outside the whole day. So we decided to pack it up and head home early. That’s ok. We had fun and can’t wait to try it again.
Love,
Dad
