Extreme Mountain Bikes
He found a new sport to love
He is such a boy!
We're vacationing this week in Lake Tahoe, California, a beautiful spot in the Sierra Mountains. We're staying at the Northstar Ski Resort, which in the summer turns its ski runs into mountain bike runs. The kids and I gave it a go yesterday, with decidedly mixed results. I fell several times and had to conclude I was just not any good at it (nor did I enjoy it much). Clara did fine but prefers other activities (like riding a regular bike along the river or, more precisely, swimming in the river). Henry, however, took to it like a fish to water. Or, more precisely, like a 15 year old boy to wild, crazy fun.
And, a gentle reminder, it's almost last call for the haiku/photo pairing blog give away. Simply pair a photograph with a haiku, post it to your blog and link it to the post you will find here. Contest closes Sunday, California time, at 10:00 p.m. Come join the fun!
P.S. For those who asked, crawdads are also called crayfish or crawfish in the U.S. They are a crustacean that looks like a small lobster. They're called yabby or koura in Australia. They are mostly extinct in Europe.
