Emily's new bike
Emily has said that her goal is to be the first
female to win le Tour de France. Well, she got one
step closer this weekend when we picked up her first
road bike... a sweet looking red Specialized Dolce.
She did awesome on her first ride on the new bike...
23 miles and looking strong. She is still proud to be
part of the

Annual Bro's Camping Trip - Pinecrest
This year we headed for the cool air and tall trees
of Pinecrest... just a few miles from the Dodge Ridge
Ski Resort. Besides me getting sick on Thursday (and
not from drinkin') it was an awesome camping trip.
The kids rode their bikes all day long and then went
and saw a couple of movies at night on the outdoor
screen across the road. On our second day me and KW
headed out to Dodge Ridge, and by OUT I mean UP. KW
did great on his inaugural climb (3.5 miles and about
1200 feet of climbing). Fred and Twon met us at Dodge
Ridge. We headed up a mile or so (and over 2,000
feet) while mostly carrying the bikes and then bolted
downhill on the double track (and very bumpy) trails.
I had no idea that the ski runs doubled as bike
trails in the off-season.

4th of July

What a cool 4th of July! H2O skiing... and of course
all of the other fun stuff!
7 of us on the boat on the Delta. Mike and I and Twon
got right up but Fred and JR took a little more work
(Fred more than anyone). We promised him that we
would teach him how to get up and stay up and he was
determined to do it! An hour or so later he was
finally skiing!!! JR and Brian got up pretty quick
but the fun of the day was Fred. That poor guy... he
was more patient than anyone of us would have been...
especially with all of us yelling out directions and
advice to him. Check out the pics page and the video
page for some of the day's events.
