Two years ago (almost exactly) we debuted a video of Claire walking with Lola.
Below is a clip from our weekend hike, you can see how in two years Claire has improved in her communication and her dog handling skills.
And how would we know that its 72.2 miles? Well, I am content to find out that information online. Josh on the other hand wanted to find out for himself. And he did. All 72.2 miles of road. On a bicycle. We spent the last weekend in September (and what a glorious weekend it was) in lovely, magnificent Lake Tahoe.
May I first say I was reminded once again how much I love the off season when I ventured into SaveMart for a few groceries and was welcomed with clear aisles, small lines at the checkstand and plenty of parking. Oh how I love you off season.
The kids, settling in.
Josh started training for this race in mid August by riding his bike to work a few times each week. The start and finish were at Zephyr Cove. Josh gave us a call when he was at Bliss (while riding his bike, I don’t like thinking about it so I won’t dwell there) and we drove up to the road from the cabin to cheer him on. I would have loved cheer him on from a couple different locations but with the kids we thought it best to do something for fun for us/them instead that didn’t mean more car riding.
here he comes.
And there goes. We got kisses and hugs but then he was on his way. He figured out he was on pace to finish the race in 4 hours!
GO DADDY!
And now, time for our hike! The hike we did was a continuation of a hike Josh and I did the last time we were up at the Lake. This leg went from Bliss to Emerald Bay. A lovely little jaunt which was flat for the most part. We didn’t make it the whole way, we were probably another 8 minutes walk to Emerald Bay but turned back for the sake of naps and good humour.
and all back at the cabin safe, sound and in good spirits.
one last glorious morning.
