Friday Fun! ~ Let's go on a Bike Ride!

Hi Everyone!

Emmitt here! Happy Friday!

It is such a nice summer day, let's join my mom on one of her favorite things to do...

Let's go on a bike ride!

Ok, here is my mom, Melissa. She will be your tour guide on her favorite route. I never go with her. She says something about me getting us both killed or something silly like that.

Besides she would need to find me a pug helmet and my head is kind of well.... dome shaped. :)

Heee! That is ok! I like to stay home and wait for her to get back. I always greet her with songs, dancing and kisses!

Here we go down the big hill towards Boulder. See the Flatiron mountains ahead?

We are going to turn left at the light and head south.

It is a beautiful sunny day and even the camera phone is taking good pictures. How fun is that?

Here is our shadow...

This field is about 1/2 way on our 11 mile loop.

and here is the turn around point at Marshall Rd. Now all the hills we came down, we go up and all the hills we went up to get here, we go down!

How fun is that? Mom likes that she can just hop on her bike from her driveway and have this safe beautiful route she can ride. She has lived here for 15 years and still cannot believe this is home! We love Colorado!

You may wonder what I am doing while she is off riding...

Um... I'm dreaming about lunch of course! Someone has to plan the menus around here!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Now you know what we will be doing! Please leave us a note and tell all about what you have planned. We would love to hear all about it!

We had a great time. The weather was perfect. We started at about 7:15 am, and we were back to the cars by 10:30 after riding the 45 mile loop to Lyons and back.

Then on Sunday we went to the Wool Market!

Sunday: Wool Market - Estes Park, CO

We got yarn to make hats! I am going to show Melanie how to use the loom!

I got Melanie this neat pot holder.

and she got a hat and neck gater.

She bought me this great wool yarn, some double knit wool mittens and this fun name plate that I am going to incorporate into my altered journal.

There was so much to see at the market like angora bunnies

tons of wool yarn in every color and texture.

wool roving for spinning and felting

sheeeeeeep

llamas and alpaca!

It was a perfect weekend!
