Peddler's Jamboree!

This weekend Nathan, Robb and Jackson had a boys weekend.  They went on an overnight bike trip (with about 400 participants) 30+ miles to Boonville one day and back the next morning.  It was a super laid back ride with country town stops every 10 miles with a band and refreshments.  

We recently bought Jackson a tag-a-long bike.  He LOVES it.  He says he wants to ride the "tagtail" (his term for it) because he can go farther!

Side note: they took our old camera that is broken so the pictures are sort of weird- or low quality from a blackberry!


Race morning in his new tri shorts!  He was SO excited!

Stop one listening to the band.

Robb & Jackson enjoying the break- and the river!

Daddy & Jackson in Boonville for dinner.

Camping!  Life doesn't get better than this!

Heading back home on Sunday.

Biggest tree we've ever found!  Jackson & Uncle.

67 miles total.  I am SO proud of Jackson!  The most he had ever ridden was 8 miles.  Nathan said he peddled about 75% of the time.  The only thing he complained about was his bottom hurting.  They came back with many stories, memories and smiles.  We are already planning next year!  Mommy is joining the party!

The girls stayed home this year and had a "girl day".   Addison chose her friend Lily to join us for the evening (w/ her mom Jennifer and little sister Rosie).  We went to buy her a new girly movie, went to the splash park, ice cream before dinner and brought pizza back to our house to play.  Addison was SO fun to be with and soaked up the attention!
