Mile High Century

We have a centurian in the house!! Tom completed his first official 100 mile ride last weekend. He did a practice ride a couple weeks ago around the lake at my parent's house and last weekend was the big ride. The Mile High Century took him thru the Lake Almanor Basin, into Indian Valley and around the lake with a 3200' elevation gain. It took him just under 8 hours, including a lunch break. The road crew (that's the rest of us) camped and hung out at my parent's house while we waited for him to finish. Way to go Tom!!

The latest project...

Here's some pics of our latest woodworking project. Just in time for the 4th! Everyone had a hand in helping on this one. Meagan held pieces in place, Tony worked the drill, and Tom and I picked up the slack....

Wayne's Wedding, Disneyland and more.

We've been back a week now and I am just now getting to this, but here are some slide shows from our quick trip down south. My cousin got married in Laguna Beach, so we joined Nana & Papa on a fun filled adventure to the land of Orange County. We flew down on Friday and spent the day at Huntington Beach. We had lunch at Ruby's on the pier and the kids had a great time playing in the surf. My grandparents, their son and his family, and more cousins all came out to join us. Saturday was a fun day spent with more family in Mission Viejo with the wedding later that evening. The wedding was beautiful- candles and starlight, more good times!

Sunday it was onto Disneyland- a first for the kids. We all had a wonderful time- the kids still believed in the magic and the grown-ups were more than happy to play along. On Monday, one of my dear friends from high school came down to join us with her two little ones. It was a fun trip, with many memories. I can't wait for next time!
