Triumph!

I just have to go back and brag on the wonderful accomplishment of my oldest son. For the Teacher's Super Activity this summer they went up to the San Juan Islands and biked all over. One of their final days was dedicated to cycling up Mt. Constitution which has a very steep elevation change. Out of the 14 or so boys who tried, only 3 people (2 boys) actually biked all the way to the top. The first one to reach the summit was Jacob Dayley who bicycles in competitions all the time, at 40 minutes. Edward was second with a time of 50 minutes! And Brother Lillie came in third with 55 minutes. The rest of the boys either walked their bikes to the top or hitched a ride in the van.

Jennifer said that the reason Edward made it was because I kept nagging him to practice and he instead told me that he didn't need to. He had to prove me wrong. She said he must have been like the little train that could, chanting "I told you I could do it Mom, I told you I could do it Mom." Whatever it took, I'm glad that he made it. Way to go Edward!!!
