Tri Latta 2011

Friday we took off to Charlotte, NC, well, actually, Huntersville, for Michael to participate in the Tri Latta Triathlon on Saturday, June 11. Christi, Owen, Emma, Mary Beth, Kevin, Jackson, Maizeigh and Norah joined us for a great weekend. We ate at a local Italian restaurant Friday night which was really good food! We were not excited about the 6:30 am start on Saturday because that meant leaving the hotel at 5:30! Yucko!! However, this did leave most of the day Saturday for other adventures!

Owen and Maizeigh wanted to get body marked too.

(This means getting your age put on your calf like Big Daddy)


Norah was such a little trooper at her very first triathlon!


Big Daddy is always willing to share his after race refreshments

And I'm always willing to give Michael a "great job" kiss when he's done.

He's usually pretty dang sweaty!!

Michael had a great event.

He finished in the top half of his age group which made him very happy!!

Then we took a little dip in the hotel pool

For our adventure we went to Discovery Place in Charlotte. Christi was the only one who had ever been there before. It was so cool. I really loved that the children could touch things! Not just look at them! I think they thought that was pretty cool too!

Thanks, gang, for taking the adventure with us!

We just love it when we get together.

Next stop------The Beach!!! Woo Hoo!!!
