Too Late Now
Pretty sure the 200lb+ guy that sold me the Honda 50cc saying it was his son’s was lying. It was his. The mechanic at my shop suspects so too. The rear shock was shot. The forks blown and slightly bent. It’s all good now and won’t make a difference to the kids, but geeze. Oh […]
It’s Faster!
Yesterday turned out to be a pretty big day, but a little background first. Some friends of ours over the course of the last 9 months got divorced. Their daughters (Willa & Norah) are good friends with our girls, and now that their dad lives closer to us, we’ve had more opportunities to play together. […]
February ADK 2017
Headed up to the ADK this weekend for what’s probably the last ice adventure of 2017. While everyone back home was running around in shirt sleeves, Craig and I were playing in the ice and snow. The week prior saw some fairly low temperatures and got a decent amount of snow. Though the forecast for […]
Totally Consumed
Since the kids mentioned the dirt bike camping it’s all I can think about. Where will we go? How will we haul our gear? Who else wants to go? The “where” will be somewhere around Thorpe. The “how” at first was mostly me carrying a giant backpack, but I’ve refined that a bit. Obviously a […]
Lu Sick Too
I think Lauren caught whatever I had last week. She’s been running a fever and threw up yesterday. She had a little more spirit today, but she’s still pretty wiped. Hopefully the worst is over. – b
Got Her Sword
Abigail’s samurai sword showed up for winning first place at her last competition. It’s definitely a sword, but thankfully not sharpened. We’ll just have to see if this is the first and last or the first of many? – b
Cute Weekend Shots
Both from skiing. We stopped and got donuts along the way. Lauren picked a special valentines version. We had an afternoon snack of french fries. With a little ketchup, Abigail became a saber-tooth tiger. – b
Summer Grace Camp
Booked a long weekend in the back country ADK cabin Grace Camp this summer. The girls (mostly me) will have to haul gear three and a half miles in for two whole days of back country play. Should be awesome. – b
Went Skiing
We actually had winter enough for a few days to go skiing this weekend. Big deal of the day was taking Lauren’s tip clip off. It was obviously harder work for her, but she kept at it and did very well throughout the day. Abigail had a couple of advancements as well. She’s now able […]
Dirt Bike Camping
The girls decided this morning that they want to go dirt bike camping. Ride our dirt bikes up into the mountains, setup camp, and stay the night. Pretty sure we can make that happen. – b
