Memphis in May Triathalon

We spent a fun weekend with the friendlaws (word coined by Whitney this weekend) in Memphis.  It was really nice to have a little get-away for a few days and just enjoy ourselves!  I don't think I've laughed quite so hard in a long time...between Ryan's outbursts, Whitney's humor and imaginary games, to Jason's spoofs.  Not to mention, poor Whitney had to pump every three hours...no matter where we were!  Oh, how I remember those days!
The whole purpose in going to Memphis was to cheer on the boys as they did their 2nd triathalon.  Unlike their first tri, this was the real deal.  There were referees, professional tri athletes, and the distances were ligit.  They both did amazing....especially considering the rain, thunder, and lightning that ensued while they were performing.  Whitney and I were a little worried about their safety and our own as we watched by the sidelines!  Thankfully, they both finished safe and unharmed!

Jason beat Ryan...which has only happened very few times, so of course Jason needed the record to show who came out ahead this time.  Ryan gets a break though...he does have a newborn at home! Ha!  We got even more exciting news when we arrived home....we found out Jason had qualified to go to the triathalon U.S. Championships with his 6th place Clydesdale division finish.  He was shocked and so excited!  We are obviously so proud of him!  Good job, J! 

The weekend was so fun and we can't wait for another get-away with the friendlaws!
