stand up paddle.

Over the labor day weekend we decided to give stand up paddle boarding a try! We loved it and are already excited to go again!  We really loaded everyone up for this adventure, Shane and I, my parents and siblings, and my 79 year old grandfather! I can only hope I am as active as he is when I am his age.Truly impressive. We boarded on Lake Blue Ridge in North GA, the weather was threatening all day- but it ended up being perfect, and waited to pour down rain until we were all safely to shore!

the art of swimming

This is the second race that I have been to in the past month and I have come to the conclusion that open water swimming is definitely an art.  My husband Shane has recently become addicted to open water swim races, extremely LONG open water swim races.  I love watching the events and am truly inspired by the athletes that compete in them.  Shane has competed in both a 5k and a 3k swim.  SO.. if you haven't been to one of these things before- you definitely should!
