Memorial Day

I've always considered St Patty's day to be my favorite semi holiday. Its so laid back, people get together and have a stress free great time. Well Memorial weekend may very well replace that! It was such a great weekend, filled with so much to do in this valley and so many truly wonderful people to share it with.
Friday night we got our garden all together, Logan worked for hours on it, we look forward to some really yummy things coming from it!
Saturday we started the morning with what was to be a "couples" ride, but ended up being 11 riders, 3 women (including me), do the math, not so couple like. The group, a wee bit intimidating, a couple collegiate/pro riders, the rest the "super" studs of this valley. All in all, it ended up being wonderful! We rode 46 miles, through Cashmere, out to Dryden and back, all on side rodes. The weather was perfect, scenery incredible, and I learned a lot from this group!

I am recovering from a respiratory bug so after wine tasting with my sis later that day I rested while Logan and Lars went up to my parents for a BBQ. Lo LOVES spending time with Cal!!

Sunday I met the ladies for a run, another gorgeous day and what a wonderful way to start the day, the evening brought us to another BBQ at Erika's, the kids had such a great time, which meant the adults had a wonderful time!

Monday, we slept in, then Lars worked for hours on our sprinklers. Unfortunately I was not so much help...I made lunch! Mondays are a cycling day for me, and after such a busy weekend I was lacking motivation, but finally got around to it and took my new TT bike out and did climbing repeats for an hour. I'm getting really comfortable with this bike, so I ended up really enjoying it! The weather again was perfect, I find so much peace on my bike, love it!

Then off to another BBQ we went, kids had fun, adults had fun. Now we are home unwinding, Luke's back from the lake, exhausted, but he had a blast! Can't wait for next year!
