After a fun afternoon at the beach we went with Alex and Whitney up to the Navy SEAL base on the island. Alex (my brother) is training to become a SEAL. He took Peter on the SEAL obstacle course. First he taught him how to do each obstacle. Then they did the course together to time Peter. Peter made it in under 12 minutes - which was really great (and would have been some kind of qualifying time for a new SEAL in training).
Those 11+ minutes rank as some of the best minutes in his life! He loved every minute of it - calling it his version of a kid's bounce house. He is proud of his rope burns and bruises.
I love seeing him this happy. Especially after all of his back surgery years - a day like this is truly a miracle.
