Every week seems to get a little bit better- we have most of the boxes unpacked and we have settled back into a routine. If you know anything about mom, she likes her routine!
We started last week with a bang. On Sunday, our neighbor down the street had a "Supermoon Eclipse" party and it was totally fun. He lives on the 16th green of the golf course, so while the adults were doing adult things, a bunch of us kids were running around on the golf course with our flash lights, playing games and just generally being kids. It was exactly the kind of thing we moved into this neighborhood for. We were completely exhausted the next day, which unfortunately was Monday, but we soldiered through the day and went to bed early and woke up Tuesday feeling fresh and bright.
I had a surprise softball game on Thursday and it was ugly. We lost 19-1 and I stunk it up on the pitcher's mound. But in my defense, all of our pitchers stunk it up and the other team was really, really good.
We got that night out of the way and on Friday, we headed up to Pine Top for the Tour of the White Mountains mountain bike race. We met Nana D, Mr. Walker, my friend Madeline and her parents, Mike and Audrey up there. After years of watching the dad's do the racing, the mom's decided to give it a go this year too. While most of the group was doing the 35 miler, Ms. Audrey and mom suffered through the 9 miler. It sounds like the 35 miler was really rough and bumpy and everyone came back from that ride a little worse for the wear. The 9 miler was just enough for the newbies. While the adults were out burning up the trails, there was a pack of us girls running amok and having a great time. We even found someone with a parrot who was willing to let us walk around with it on our shoulders. We all had a great time and everyone came out relatively unscathed.
