Manic Monday: Iron

This week’s Manic Monday meme from It’s a Blog Eat Blog World is about Iron.

We just got back from a camping trip with the kids, sister-in-law and brother-in-law. The grandparents came up during the day, but didn’t stay over night. SIL and BIL are in training for a half iron-man race next month. From the amount of physical exertion that went into this weekend, I feel like I’ve actually run that race. I’m exhausted! There were hikes - several - up and down hills, wood-hunting, wood-cutting, constructing and deconstructing tents, grilling, eating (loads of eating)…This is what we do for relaxation!

Gus and his sister had a magnificent time. I’m very pleased with the way he worked at staying within the boundaries of our campsite. When he started getting tired he had less self-control, but otherwise, he did really well staying with us. He and MM were both great helpers in between running circles around the grownups. I wonder how they’d fare at the half iron-man?

What did you do for this Labor Day weekend?
