Memorial Day Weekend

Ahh, the bliss of a three day weekend. I had some quality time with Claire over the weekend as Lucian went up north to a friend's cabin for a few days and Spencer was at his mom's all weekend. We walked the neighborhood, read books, shopped with Aunt Mimi and headed to a few parks.

Claire still loves to swing and pushes herself like this on the "big" swings

We met Sydney at the park both days so the girls could play together.

I think their favorite part was sharing the snacks we each brought.

Skater girl. Enjoying Monday's beautiful weather.

Lucian is doing another epic bike ride this year; Ride the Rockies, a week-long trek through Colorado's Rocky Mountains. He and a few local guys are going. They headed north to a friend's hunting cabin this weekend (near Spring Green, WI) to get in some training rides with decent climbing/elevation. He shared a few photos for the blog. Looks like a beautiful area.

Saturday morning ride

The cabin and "water truck". They use this old jalopy to get water from a distant neighbor for the cabin.

Horses running to greet them

Morels they ate for dinner. (That is a regular size dinner plate, by the way).Lucian flies out Sat., June 11th for the ride. We'll be without him for a week, but I know he'll have a great time.
