The Weekend Report

On Sunday AM Husband GRACIOUSLY went down to get me coffee at 5:20ishAM and then crawl back into bed... Miss B wanted to go and support Reese in her triathlon.... Track stuff is weird... it is all very segregated and different... if you do XC you do XC, if you do Indoor... its completely different from outdoor/SPRING track... if you do TRIATHLONS.... THEY are a whole OTHER ball of wax... swim, bike, run... no way Hosea but... I WILL wake up at the crack of dawn to 1) see what they are all about and 2) bring Miss B and her friend to support!!!!

Miss B, Miss P and I showed up at Daws and Josie's alma mater around 7:00ish and I was blown away from the moment we stepped out of the car with the people, parking and PLANNING.... whew... I have done my fair share of coordinating and organizing but this was UNBELIEVABLE... I loved it! :)

We met up with Reese's Mom and little sister and headed down to the beach to see if we could catch her (and her DAD! who was also competing) before she jumped in the water... click on the pic to enlarge and you can see ALL the swimmers in wetsuits... ain't no way I'm swimming in Sebago in JUNE!!! YIKES!

HOORAY! We caught her!!!

Proud fan club!!!

It was SO fun to walk around the campus cheering on the athletes but especially Gus and Reese! We were VESTED!

She was racing her Dad and ended up 3 MINUTES behind him...once it was all said and done...

but she was SO HAPPY to have her buddies there supporting her... she went so fast I made it back in time for CHURCH!! Didn't get to change so felt a little funny in my running shorts and sweatshirt but I know the LORD doesn't mind... my heart was HAPPY to be there... :)

Spent a lazy Sunday afternoon (my favorite kind) and then I suggested going for a ride... Minnie agreed and Husband said "the beach" uh... we do not GO to THE BEACH... but to the East we went... finding ourselves at Congdon's After Dark, ordering tater tots, and a burger and listening to live music...we even got to see Mrs. LaPage...
