Jill, official oldest daughter of NewMexiKen, reports on Aidan (he’ll be five one month from today):
Byron’s office had his summer picnic today at a waterpark.
Aidan was somewhat discouraged because most of the slides and water activities were set up for people 48 inches or taller, and he isn’t quite there. After we stood in line for a ropes course only to find he couldn’t reach the rope, I suggested we walk over and join [his brother] Reid in the “little kids” area.
We walked over to that section; Aidan took one look and said, “Oh I can’t go in there, Mommy. I would feel foolish.”
By the way, Aidan and Reid’s older brother Mack competed in his second full triathlon Sunday and placed fourth. Anyone who finishes a triathlon gets my applause, especially a 7-year-old. And the distances were longer this week than previously, so a real achievement. Awesome little guy!
