Mike had planned a camping trip with the family pop up camper for himself and his boys Andrew & Nicholas. So they arrived on a Friday, we got the camper set up and they were with us all week. Madeleine was beside herself running around and playing with the boys, and as yu can see they didn’t mind letting her tag along either. check the Bonday’s visit

Celebrating with the Double G

The family had a surprise party for her at my uncle Joe’s house and everyone came !!! my aunt Jane from Oregon, my uncle Jimmy from Chicago and of course the rest of the locals came out. Madeleine got to meet all sorts of new folks, from people she may never see again to cousins that she had a great time running around with. It was also the debut of Maddie’s new purple, or heliotrope, Keen sandals. She had a great time wearing herself out with all the kids running around the yard kicking the ball and just plain having fun !!!  Most important though was she got to spend some time with the Double G, or great grandmom. Maddie even wished her a happy birthday.

Hitting the trail

madie-bikecart738  Earlier this summer I bought a bike cart to pull Maddie in behind my bike. She was a bit reluctant at first but after a spin around the yard she settled in nicely. Kathleen and I figured a cruise along the Ma&Pa would be cool…so we loaded up the gear and headed out for a family ride. Maddie was again a bit reluctant but once Kathleen rolled up along side and waved to her the munchkin settled in and just enjoyed the ride. I’m hoping to take her on a ride on the NCR trail sometime soon for some fun.
