Roswell Crit

Yesterday, after a very busy weekend, we decided we hadn't had enough action and went to the Roswell Criterion bike race. Todd took the boys earlier in the afternoon and met up with the Tuttles, who found a nice shady spot in front of Naylor Hall. It wasn't as crowded as the Athens race, but it was just as exciting! I met up with all of them after my long tennis match with enough time to drink a few cold ones and have a Fickle Pickle picnic. Whatta day!

Two cool dudes

Twilight 2012

Every year Athens hosts the Twilight Criterion bike races. They close of 1k of busy downtown streets, extend bars into the sidewalks, and sell all sorts of artery clogging street food. Sounds like a good night to me! Jammy, Todd and the boys and I all went to partake in what the town had to offer...sans the alcohol, unlike the rest of the crowd. The boys had so much fun watching all the bikers go by 'super-really-fast' and cheersing. We almost made it to watch the men's race, but after the women did a 25-lapper, it was 9pm and time to go home. See ya next year, bikers!

Strawberry pickin

After today's last soccer game, we packed up our chuck wagon, dropped the dogs off at Dawn's and headed east to Washington Farms. They were having their 2nd annual strawberry festival with tons of rows of ripe, delicious berries to pluck right off the plants! Mmmmmm. Then, we rode a covered wagon to the festival portion and the boys jumped, ran, slid, and rode on all sorts of apparatuses. We ended the afternoon with some homemade strawberry ice cream and fresh popped kettle corn. I love these kinds of festivals!!

Last soccer game spring 2012

Today the boys had their last soccer game of their spring season. Nolan had 7 goals and 4 assists. He clearly stopped running to score a goal at one point and passed it to his teammate so his buddy could score! Everyone was so impressed!! Reed did an amazing job...cheersing from the sidelines. We had a small awards ceremony for the kiddos and gifts for the coach. What a fun season!

Happy 8th bday, old chap!

Yesterday was Nekoh's 8th bday! We celebrated by going for a nice 3.5 mile run, followed by and afternoon of lounging. Ah, the good life :0)

Allergies

Reed: mommie, I'm allergic to bad guys and monsters.
Mommie: really? How do you know?
Reed: that means you don't like them.
Ok.
