Ironman Day......stay in town.....or get out!!!!!!!

Ironman Day is a day that some look forward to (I do!). While others would rather skedaddle out of town as fast as possible. Whichever you choose, you can have some good times. We decided to do both this year. First, we headed down to one of the aid stations for a 10 hour volunteer shift! Hot, sweaty, and happy...... well, not everyone was happy! We were at the water station. Basically, our duty was to be ready to sprint along side the athletes zooming by on their bicycles to hand them water. Here you can see my youngest, Jacob, waiting for the next athlete to signal him that he/she wants water. Check out our local postal worker, Orlanda, who is almost done with the 112 miles portion of the race.....then hel'll be off to run the last segment, a 26.4 mile marathon! Thanks to friends along the course, we also got to keep tabs on Ken, Jacob's friend's dad, and got to see pictures of other parts of the race such as this one of him on the run. Being there to support the athletes is actually super fun and a great time to hang out with friends too. If you want to volunteer for the next Ironman, stop by their main office on Alapa street in the old industrial.

Then, in the evening, we headed up to the Aloha Theater for the opening of “The Diary Of Anne Frank.” That......was amazing! The cast & all the volunteers that made this show such a fantastic success well deserve the standing ovation they received! If you didn't go yet, I highly recommend that you get your tickets now before they sell out and while you are on their website (www.AlohaTheater.com) , check out the upcoming shows and auditions. There is always something cool and exciting happening at the theater.
