Easter and The Balanced Man Triathlon





So, I know I'm way late on posting about Easter but I have had no free time because of design. But now it is over! I'm so happy and relieved and am looking forward to a few weeks of rest before summer semester starts up. I'm taking an online summer semester so I can graduate by next May. Hopefully it won't be too hard to do 5 semesters in a row. But anyway, Easter was fun. We started off the weekend by having an egg hunt at my grandparents house. We do this every year and my grandparents hide candy, money and eggs around their beautiful garden. This year I helped my grandpa hide them though because my grandma had knee surgery. It was rainy and of course as soon as the hunt was over, the sun came out! It always happens like that though. Braxon loved finding the eggs though. He calls them balls. On Sunday we went to Chris's mom's and had other family come over and had a hunt there. It was nice weather and Braxon was able to look for eggs longer.
Chris was the director of a triathlon for Sig Ep, the fraternity he's in. He did a lot of hard work for it like getting the right permits, getting sponsers, designing shirts, getting volunteers, planning the route and many other things. It was a lot of work but it turned out great! He increased the participants from 90 last year to 150 this year. The triathlon raised over $2500 for Youth Aids, the Sig Ep philanthropy. I'm way proud of him and all his hard work!
