State Fair

Our state fair is a great state fair.

Monday
9-mile run through Champlin
Half day for the State Fair!
Food, rides, animals, art exhibition,
activities (sewing/cooking/super awesome kayak)
Lilly fell asleep on the bus on the way home






Tuesday
1+ hr ride - 610 and back (AM)
Lilly came super close to riding w/o training wheels!
3 loops in the park (PM)
Saw Tom C and talked cyclocross, waterskiing and chili dogs

Wednesday
5 mile run w/Wade at lunch. Very nice.
Rode with Lilly to the library after dinner.
Lilly beat me at Candyland.

Thursday
1 hr run in the park (about half was in the dark)
Dropped Rob off at the cycle shop in Ramsey.
Pulled over for "illegal U-turn" on hwy 10.
"Summer sledding" (big wheels down the grass sledding hill)

Friday
Biked to work w/Lilly.
Forgot her helmet at home so she rode in the trailer
on the way to work and borrowed her "school helmet"
for the ride home.

Saturday
Biked to Elk River to mountain bike.
Met Rob for a lap and a half.
~ 1hr up there (15 mi),
3 laps (21 miles),
~ 1hr home (15 mi) (WINDY)
Had to make a choice right away in the morning
as the mountain bike trails are a right turn:


Boated with kids (swimming off the boat)
Gopher football game w/Neil, Craig, Kyle.

Big 10, Town Hall (never again) for food and beers
Walked through campus

Sunday
Took the green boat out of the water:
Lilly and I drove the trailer to the landing,
played at the park and walked home. Started up
the green boat and drove down to the Rum River.
The boat died and I couldn't restart it.
Luckilly the wind was blowing just right to take us to
the Point Park docks. Tied it up and walked home.
When Holly got home from the Chili Dog ride I walked
back over and got someone to tow me up the rum.
One person denied me saying, "I would, but we're not going
that way." Jeez, thanks - it's all of 5 mintues.

Golfed at Green Haven with Rob.
Rob and I met Holly and Lilly at Moonrock afterwards.
