Mothers Day, TES Spring Concert, Cameron Duathalon

Saturday, May 17 - 1st Estonia Duathlon 

Cameron did his 1st Estonian Duathlon along with many other 6-14 year old competitors. Two boys in a picture below are his training buddies from 21cc triathlon club.  They are much older boys but speak some english and have taken Cameron under their care.

The race was very good practice for Cameron.  First of all this was his 1st ever duathlon and he did it with out understanding much for what anyone including announcers was saying:-) Running-Bike -Run - that's how it was organized.  He was in the mid pack of the 1st run, but the bike was a different story.  Most competitors had road bikes, even some 7 year olds did.  Cameron road on BMX bike so he could only go so fast.  His 2nd run was exceptional and he had 2nd fasted run split in his age group.  We are so proud of him and his ability to survive in any situation.  Cam is a fighter and really cool kid!

Tuesday, May 13 - Spring Concert at Tallinn European School (TES)

The boys have been practicing their songs for a long time now.  We could not wait to see and hear them perform finally.  The concert was held at the Tallinn Son and Dance festival Glass Building.  It had more amazing views of the Baltic sea and the ships that were coming into port.

Twins had to wear animal costumes, Cameron's grade P3 had to wear happy and bright spring colors.

Sunday, May 11 - Mothers Day

I love how the boys were whispering all day Saturday about something.  They daddy took all the boys to a store and when they came back every boys ran different direction to do something.  The next day I figured out that they were getting ready for Mothers day and were hiding food, presents and flowers:-)

 Later that night Chris and I went for Mothers day dinner to a restaurant call PAAT.  Local place, right on the water and the building the restaurant is located is an upside down boat.  The food was one of the best we have had in Estonia yet.

Chris's 1st trip to our beach with his new sling. We put a big garbage bag over it so the sand doesn't get in.  We took a beach chair for him to sit on and boys threw frizzby with him.  Good practice for the boys because they need to trow right to him as he can't move out of his chair every time :-)
