The first task of the trip was to be the Support Crew for Ryan and his friend Pete who competed in Ironman Idaho. What an athletic accomplishment! It was even a feat to SPECTATE, some might argue (particularly Liesl who fell asleep mid-French fry when we stopped to grab a bite to eat)!
The energy and spirit of the race were inspiring. Ryan completed the race in under 12 hours, with a big grin as we cheered him through the finishing chute.
Next up on the agenda: relaxation! Well, relaxation of the Buck variety-- meaning long bike rides and daily runs on the nearby trail, and plenty of water fights, swimming and paddling in the lake. It was a good thing we were so active, since each day was capped by another Buck tradition: Amy's gourmet meals.
The lake was ideal for spotting wildlife including blue herons and even a moose right outside our door. The Fourth of July brought a charming lake tradition, the annual boat parade, by our dock.
It was a wonderful week and we are grateful to Ryan for the impetus of this trip. So: who is doing the next big event so we can plan Buck Vacation 2016?
