Grayson Dean a Future Ironman???


Well you probably haven't ventured south to read the Ironman race report...if you do it's long and boreing so hang in there...Grayson had a good time in Canada. He had been there before in April (When Dad tried to OFF him and Mom driving around in a truck with only 3 wheels with tight lug nuts!!!)

The first day in Canada Grayson had his first real accident. Somehow with his baby superpowers he figured out how to slide open the screen door and how to release the latch that keeps the screen door closed. Lets just say Baby + Screen Door + 3 1/2 foot drop + Gravel = (see picture above!!) He scared the life out of his Mom and Dad. Mel was in cleaning up after dinner and I was out tinkering around with my race gear. All I heard was a loud "THUD" and Mel SCREAMING "BRAD!!!!!" I turned around and saw my baby laying face down in the gravel. First thought...HE IS DEAD??!??! I ran over swooped him up as fast I could and made sure he was still alive. After the manaditory 30 second build up, the "Death Scream" was released!! Man babies can be LOUD! So we cleaned him up, picked the gravel out of his face and lip and 4 minuts later he was back playing like noting ever happened.....Babies are truly amazing!!

The rest of the week was pretty uneventful after the first days fiasco. On the Friday before the race there is a very Unique event that is a charity fundraiser for the local community. The Ironman participents, and really anyone crazy enough to shimmy off your pants and shirt, and exposing all God gave you except for some underwear are invited to run rampid on the city to help purchase bicycles for needy children. It called the Underpants run, Grayson HAD to get in on that action...he was scopeing out the "HOT CHICKS" he said?? He must get that from his Mom's side??? Picture are included over on the picture site. So be sure to check him out!

Other than that not much going on. Mel and I are heading back to Vegas this weekend for her SOFTBALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!! So wish her good luck...although they are defending Champions. They get moved up a level and will be competing against much tougher teams! I still think that they can pull it off!!

So until next time!!

Brad, Mel, and Grayson!!
