the fun we had - up side down

i took part in karl and allison's family triathlon which included swimming in the river as shown in a previous post, hiking through the woods - at least an attempt to, and biking.   the biking part was more like a parade with all seven of us in a line!

we biked to a hiking trail.  we started hiking down the trail in the woods but turned back after only a quarter mile because the branches started hanging down just a couple feet from the unkept tall grass we were already wading through.  too thick! oh well, it was worth a try!

while speeding down a steep hill on our bikes early in the ride brooke's front tire turned sideways consequently hurling her over the handle bars!  wipeout! shaken up but still alive with her forearm having receiving the worst of the spill, she definitely deserved the award for most hardcoreness!!  her being up side down was not really a new experience since all week she had been regularly practicing her head stand (my most recent apprentice :).  check out our synchronized act

and there was plenty more that made my visit such a blast and such an encouragement.  i'm so thankful i got to stay a little while.  i love this family!!

and i'm glad i finally met peter!

until next time...
