Competition at All American Gymnastics May 2012

Five year old Tanith was recently bumped up to the next level class, and got to participate in this competition on Saturday. She had a lot of fun, maybe a bit more than we did as proud parents watching her and cheering her performance. We were behind the glass upstairs which made pictures a bit blurry, but here they are for those who want to see. She brought home a handful of ribbons in red and white, and a really awesome medal. Winner indeed. KPICASA_GALLERY(AllAmericanGymnasticsCompetitionMay2012)

Keystone Gulch Family Hike

This morning Angie had a skating lesson, and I had promised Tan we'd go on a little hike to break in her new hiking boots, so the kids and I took off about the same time Angie did and walked up Keystone Gulch Road behind Keystone Resort. There was a thin layer of ice on the ponds, so the kids and I had plenty of fun tossing rocks onto and through the ice. Brennan crossed a log over a pond, and Tan crossed a log over a little puddle. Brennan had the misfortune of his watch flying off just as he tossed a large rock, and it flew out about 6' into the pond about 2' deep. He asked if he could go get it, and I told him he'd be better off getting a big stick. He peeled off his socks and shoes and waded out into the 33 degree water, and couldn't reach it, getting soaked pretty much all over from standing in 2' of water and trying to reach down to the bottom. He put his socks and shoes on while I fished the watch out with a stick. It was sunny enough, and we sang about ...

Cycle commuting in the cold weather

Morning temps have been in thed 30's and drifting down into the 20's. I've had to dress up a bit warmer now. I've had cold toes and thumbs so I'll have to dig out some warmer gloves and maybe figure out toe covers or neoprene socks. I'm riding 3 days a week, and last week only went down to the train station in the morning and got a ride home. On Monday I tried riding home but the wind was coming in over Traverse Ridge at a good 45 MPH +! and that was tough to deal with. A washing machine box chased me through a tunnel along the rec path. Metal was coming in from the highway. It was too dangerous so I huddled under a street sign to keep from blowing away. I actually had to hold my bike down.
