There's not a cloud in the sky and it's a full moon. Jon and I just got back from a cookout at the Seelye's house. We of course had a rousing game of volleyball, my favorite. And I of course played with all my sounds effects as usual.
Today was different than my typical summer day for several reasons. One, because today is the first time I've been to the Seelye's all summer! Second, I had the day off from tutoring today because all of our students went to the Philadelphia Zoo for a field trip. Third, Everyone who currently lives in my house was gone today. Jon was working on the property (even with his arm in cast and in a sling!), Mom and Abby are in Cape May, Mariah and Katie are at camp, and Dad and Nathan are Maine visiting a friend of my dad's from college.
So I took this free day and had my own little triathlon, only not really, because rather than running, swimming, and biking, I ran, swam, and rode my horse. Although I rode bareback and it was a killer leg workout (I need to get back into bareback more often!) I don't think it was quite the challenge of a bike :) It is, however, way more fun!!!
4.5 mile run around Bear Creek Lake then up and around our lake
Nice swim across the lake and of course a little swim with Hallie and Tristan afterwards :)
And a ride down the railroad bed...
I love summer in Bear Creek.
You are incredible. I miss summer in Bear Creek and wish I was with you for you to inspire me to do great things like your self-made triathlon. You are such a thinker. I want to be you sometimes...ok, a lot of the time. :)
