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

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.
