Weekend in Pictures

This past weekend, we had a great family fun weekend.  It was one of those weekend where you sit down on Sunday night and wish you had another day (well, that is every weekend, but…)…

Since 2004 this weekend has been our annual trek to the East coast to visit Jerome’s parents and race Eagleman 70.3.  This year we decided to take a break from that trip (race really) and stay home.  And, we surely made the best of that decision.

Our weekend started off with a dance recital for Morgan and her friends.  They were in HIP HOP, which at 10 years old is still cute.  They were in SKIN TIGHT silver pants, fake eyelashes and full make-up.  Gosh…anyway, here is Morgan and her friend Della post show.  Excuse the eyes, this was taken on my IPhone.

And, then there were 2 soccer games…where Graham won both!  (which is not always the case this season).  Here he is after one game at the “Graham”  Coffee House.

Then, on Saturday night, it was Jerome’s turn in the fun weekend.  For those of you who do not know Jerome, he LOVES a few key things in life:  Coffee, Bikes and Beer….and he is always researching and trying to find the best beers all over the world.  So, on Saturday night after the recital, he opened up this and started to decide which one to have.  And, yes, this is in our basement (not how NEAT this is!).

And, then on Sunday morning we had 2 events…Graham ran a 5k with Jerome and ended up winning the AG.  Now, the reason this is so key is that the AG is 14 & under.  So, basically every year Graham does this 5k (hometown) race, someone beats him because FRESHMAN in high school are 14 years old.  I have complained (!) to the RD, but to no avail.  So, this year when Graham did the 5k and won his AG he said it was the “BEST DAY OF HIS LIFE!”  🙂

And, then there was a fun Triathlon for me!  Lake in the Hills triathlon is local, fun and I just had the best time EVER.  I woke up on Sunday morning and literally jumped out of bed – so excited I was racing locally with all my friends and triathletes that have been around these parts forever!  And, this year, Trudy the RD added an Elite wave, so it was trash talking all morning and all day.  I was fortunate to win the race (and set a course PR and I felt awesome!) and have Marie Carberry there from the Village taking some fun pictures of me racing!  Thanks Marie!

After the 5k, Triathlon – we headed to another soccer game for Graham and then to a Pool Party for the Masters team I swim on – by the time the weekend was over – we all needed another day!  We would not have it any other way – HAPPY SUMMER!
