Callaway Gardens
We went to Callaway Gardens over the weekend, for our 5th triathlon of the summer. This is a great race, because there are plenty of activities to keep the kids busy. Our friends, the McGees and Somersets, met us there and also competed in the race. Above, Matthew, Jackson, Conner, and Catie enjoying a dip in the luxurious Days Inn pool.
This inflatable slide was near the race finish. Conner and Matthew talked Jackson into going down.
After paying a small fortune for 30 minutes of sliding, Jackson decided that he had enough after one time down. "It was too fast" was all he would say.
Here's Ann coming in from the 30K bike. Ann had a fairly decent race, finishing second in her age group. Donovan and Wendy also had good races. You might be wondering why there aren't any race pictures of Steve. Well, the race swim course went left, and Steve continued straight right across to the other side of the lake...
This is Catie after 2 days of no naps, a 3 AM barfing episode and subsequent bath, a 5:30AM wakeup and five hours out in the sun!
Here's Catie, 2 minutes after the picture above, sound asleep. Obviously she was exhausted as she was sleeping on a downhill grade that could not have been comfortable.
One of Jackson's favorite things about the beach is making roads and a pool for his trucks and boats.
The Abster was exhausted too, and slept by the beach for over 2 hours. On another note, Abby has her eye surgery scheduled for this Thursday. For those of you who don't know, Abby has congenital ptosis (weak eyelid muscles for the non-medical folks) and is having a procedure to "lift" them. We're hoping that she stays healthy so the surgery can go as scheduled later in the week. Please keep her in your thoughts!

Hi Abby,
We're praying for a successful procedure on your eyes this week.
