Lazy (Fall) Weekend

This weekend was a great chance to relax after a long week. With Noah's first full week of daycare complete, we were looking forward to doing a whole lot of nothing. Which for us, means no plans in advance, and then we end up doing a whole lot. For some reason having a weekend full of on-the-whim fun is a nice release from the fully planned one. Friday we were able to get in a nice bike ride---heading down the newly reconfigured Webber Parkway, and up the 'ol Mississippi. In a sign of our old age, it took us three days to finish the movie we originally started on Friday night. Saturday we headed out to visit our good friend Eric, who was biking the 24 hours of (Salsa) Afton race along with his teammates. The weather was perfect, and we had a great Saturday bouncing around. Noah also had a great time, both out in the grass crawling and climbing, as well as in the backpack. Sunday we went on yet another bike ride, but that one was a bit longer. Noah did great, and ended up napping in the Burley for almost 2 hours! He was a trooper, and woke up only about 5 minutes from home. We also had Reghann and Chris over in the afternoon, which was a great treat for all---including Heidi, Bosco, and Noah--who especially had a lot of fun playing! All in all a solid weekend. I'm already looking forward to this upcoming Labor Day weekend. Although, for the first time in many years I'm dreading the end of summer. It seems like we really didn't get a true summer....more like an elongated late spring. Soon enough the flakes will be flying, and we'll be dreaming of green once again!
