The outpouring of support and prayers on my last post made me SO glad. And yet, my heart still breaks for these people! Thank you for joining me in praying for North Korea! And if you know of any organizations or charities that could help, please let me know – and I’ll help spread the word!

To brighten things up a bit, I’ll show you what the Wright Family Clan has been up to today. The WNC Outdoorathlon!!
After working out, coffee and showers, we headed over to this local festival, put on by my friend, Cory.
The WNC Outdoorathlon is a two-day event, featuring music, food, a rock climbing wall, kayak and fly fishing demos, and ultimate frisbee. Today was the 5k race, tomorrow is the triathlon (the one in which I’ll be making a fool of myself participating).
There were TONS of vendors, handing out coupons, free samples and information. I even managed to win a free pair of Smartwools!! My best Janae impersonation.
We found the coolest thing too! A Sylvan Sport Go camper!
Lightweight (you can tow it with any vehicle – even an ATV!), Sleeps up to 4 people, and can be converted into a trailer for your bikes/kayaks! I WANT ONE!!
Henry…trying to decide whether or not he has $8,000 in his Robot Bank.
He doesn’t.
After perusing the vendors and filling EVERY.LAST.RAFFLE.ENTRY that we could find, it was time for lunch.
Pulled Pork nachos! Best $4 I ever spent!
While we were eating, we listened to a local band play: The UnAwareWulves. They were AWESOME!! Swing jazzish. I’ll be at the head of the line when they put out their first album!
The Outdoorathlon continues until 8pm tonight and from noon-5 tomorrow! If you’re local, you must go check it out. We must support cool events like these that promote a healthy, active lifestyle and showcase local businesses!
Now we’re home – all tuckered out. The couch and the Office are SCREAMING my name – must rest up before tomorrow’s big event!
splendid…lindsay
I am the lead singer of The Unawarewulves. Just stumbled across this and saw the bands name. We appreciate the nod and the love!
lol..well welcome! love you guys!
I love The Unawarewulves. Fun Factoid: My roommate dates the guitarist on and off. We’ve been to several of their concerts. Chase Byrd and I waited for 6 hours to see them one time.
6 HOURS!! Wow! They need to put out an album for sure!
i want a pair of overalls again!
lol…I actually own some Carhartt’s…majorly “hickish” but still super comfy!
Your impersonation is DEAD ON….are we twins? I am so happy you won…I NEVER win anything:) What a perfect day. I NEED DETAILS ON YOUR TRI!!!! I can’t wait to read all about it. I want to know what you did for nutrition too:) Nothing is cuter than kids in overalls!
Looks likes such a fun day!!! And Clara’s face in the picture with you and the socks is priceless!!! It’s like she’s saying “who really cares, mommy?” :)
Good luck today! Hope it goes well and I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Outdoorathon=awesomeness. Your pictures are all so fun! Congrats on your big win (socks). he he! :)
I KNOW!! I NEVER win anything – so that just made my day!!
I love local festivals and activities that showcase special things in your community. Good luck in your race tomorrow!
Thanks, Lindsay!! Any tips?? Kinda freaking out!
Ahh I love those overalls! I bought my nephew a pair today :-) Sounds like a really sweat family day :-)
Overalls make any kid looked uber cute!! It was a wonderful day – lots of outdoor time!!
I want a Go Camper!! that looks incredibly cool, oh my GOSH. I already have a pretty pimped out tent (it has a PORCH!) but this. this is awesome. ;)
I’m starting a new savings envelope now for it!!
