We have started our summer season early with family events seemingly scheduled every weekend with no end in sight... what fun! The last two weekends we had our first triathlons of the year. The first was a nice local sprint called John Tanner that in spite of the rain, was a fun course and a good way to start the season. Ann, Steve and Donovan represented the Stien Mountain Triathlon team. Ann had another good race finishing 3rd overall masters, beating Donovan by 3 seconds and Steve by 15 seconds! Then we spent the last weekend in Hiawassee with the McGee's and did a team triathlon due to lack of a sitter to watch the kids. Ann swam, Donovan biked and Steve ran. Team Stien Mountain is now 6 for 7 in team triathlons as we took first again. This one was kind of a hollow victory as we were the only team!!!

It was tough racing against no one, but we managed to pull it off. Team Stien Mountain proudly accepting our awards.
Jackson was excited to have a sleepover at the cabin with his buddy Matthew and brother Connor. He and Catie loved showing their friends the triple bunk beds, the creek and especially FUN WORLD! They had the "best" time riding the go carts, putt putt golf, video games, skeet ball and ice cream... does it get any better?
Abby loves her PJs, so we let her enjoy them all day, even at the beach.
After the "race", we took everyone out on Lake Chatuge for the afternoon. Even though the sun only showed up for about 10 minutes, everyone had a blast goofing around on the boat. Everyone even got a turn driving the vessel. 
Catie happy to receive her $1 bribe for getting into the cool spring waters of lake Chatuge.

The boys went on a nice hike through the deep forest and thick brush near the cabin. Look closely, Jackson is wearing a cool hunting hat complete with a camouflage veil.
Everyone loves the stuffed bear.
Oak Grove CDC had their annual ballet recital this week. The girls spent the better part of the winter practicing for the big day.
Catie really hammed it up for the big show and loved being on stage.
