.... it's not just you, my adoring public. I'm very far behind in work, school, and socially. I'm weeks off of my exercise regiment.... such is the life of me.
Ok, bringing you all up to speed.
2 weeks ago we were supposed to camp @ Garner State Park to spend a long weekend playing in the Frio River.... the daytime temps were predicted to be 101 with 108 heat index... hmmm, let's think here. A prissy wife who doesn't like to camp, add a 5 year old who's as pale as an Irish cave dweller, with a dash of my significant others friend & kids (who I'm not a big fan of), mix them all in a tent and what do you have??... A recipe for disaster. We cut out the camping portion and just made an all day event of the Frio.
E had a blast as usual, she had two friends with her, a large floating inflatable platform, and not nearly enough sun screen. We always knew she was a bit of a thrill seeker, and this trip really brought it home in a big way. Our little Evel Kenivel was jumping off of rock faces that were at least 6', and swinging on a rope swing that was at peak 10 feet high! Not only that be she insisted on doing the rope swing over and over again.... can't wait until I get her on the trail on a mini mountain bike!
It was another great trip to the Frio. This is our favorite place to visit so far. For my next trip I want to rent a Sprinter to take out to the Mas-O-Menos race in Terlingua in February. The girls can explore during the day if I end up racing, then we can spend a few days in Big Bend hiking, river rafting, maybe even a little family mounting biking (I can dream, can't I?).
More to come, I promise.....

I WANT TO MEET E SOOO BADLY-- MY GIRLS WOULD LOVE HER!!! love, your adoring public.... :)
Erin,
E is a handfull, very bossy and always gets her way. I imagine that she and F & C would terrorize the hood if we were neighbors. Lately we've been doing rides in the neighborhood, she's gone backwards from the walking bike to a training wheel bike... ugh! She loves it though, and with temps in the 70's at night it's a fun time w/out the worry of heat stroke or exposure due to sun. Minor chance that a move is on the horizon. Won't be DC, but it won't be west coast either. Think NC mountains... close enough to meet @ the beach!
