New Year's Day at Ray's

We woke up this morning and took The Frig's over to Alterra for a little breakfast, then headed on over to Ray's before they went back to Chicago. Ever since Brian took H to Ray's MTB on Monday, he's been begging to go back. He absolutely loves it there. The boys were trying to go on Friday, but the timing was just off and they were not able to make it. Today worked out great though -- especially since our friend David from Chicago had planned on coming up with his son and nephew so we got to meet them there (our friend Eric runs the place, so he was there with his wife and two of their kids too -- so fun). I thought the park would be packed, but it wasn't. And it was perfect. This time, C even got in the action. H has been on a bike for a long time. But it's just not something C completely feels comfortable with. He did great today -- spending most of the time in the practice section before making his way to the flat track that goes around the entire course. I spent a lot of my time running after him, while Brian and H tackled the harder course. Even though C did a great job riding, his favorite thing still was taking breaks and jumping into the foam pit (which my husband did a 360 into on his bike, by the way -- pretty impressive). It was a really fun day. Such a great place.

Can't post without including this adorable photo of Brian and little A. It was taken at Ray's right before they left. Sad. I miss them already.
