I had the most beautiful and difficult run of my life on Friday - 18 miles with a 1000 foot ascent and descent....glad that is over.

Well, we went for a drive today to map out dad's morning run. Mom wanted to stop and see more rocks, so we took a short detour. These are the pictures. The rocks at this place were too big to put in my mouth, so mom and dad were relieved. Since I couldn't eat rocks, this allowed my parents to play a game together. Mom would throw rocks to dad and he would swing at them with a big stick. I am too little for this type of activity - maybe next year I can teach my kid sister how to do it. As always, enjoy our photos.

However, my stroller is facing some technical difficulties, and so I am able to walk along the sidewalks more and more. Yesterday dad took me to a place called Adventurous Christians to visit Mike Nelson. He has a son named Aulis (It's Finish I think), and they live in a gorgeous place. There are trees and canoes and dogs and big mosquitos, and saunas, and all kinds of places to walk. It was a great trip, even though Aulis and his mom, Nicole, were at the doctor's office (they were probably giving shots - yuck). Anyway, dad and I returned back to the cabin to see mom, and we had lunch on our deck from Hughies - the taco shack. Highly recommended. After lunch they shoved me in my crib and made me sleep. I keep saying "no" and shaking my head, but they still put me in the crib. In the afternoon, we went for a walk and threw mor...
