So we had a pretty spectacular weekend. This was our annual trip up to the White Mountains for the mountain bike race and just to kick off Fall in the high country. We always go up with a bunch of friends and Mr. Walker and Nana D meet us there and this year, Uncle Adam and Auntie Erin, Sophia and Brendan joined in the fun. It was a family, friend packed weekend and we loved it!
The Goedel Clan (meaning us) drove up after school/work on Thursday and camped in our RV the first night. We arrived about 8:30PM to meet our friends and found the fire already roaring, the beer cold and conversation lively. It was already pretty chilly but that made it feel that much more like fall and it was wonderful.
Friday was a beautiful, relaxed day. There was a little bike riding, and some pick up softball games. There were 5 of us 10 year old girls running around the campsite so you can imagine what that was like- drama, bike riding, drama, softball playing, drama, eating lunch and finally some drama but it was all good.
Friday afternoon, the Walker Clan rolled in from Albuquerque. They all stayed at a condo close to the start of the race and we spent the night with them. After a colossal mix up at check in ( 2 Leah Walkers were registered to stay at the same condo! How crazy is that? Aaaand the check in girl went to mom's high school!) we settled in and enjoyed some more sports (miniature golf). Sophia and Brendan were looking like naturals and dad was one handing his putts with ease. And he didn't spill his beer.
We headed in for dinner and I was a good cousin and let the little ones take full advantage of me.
On Saturday, we were up bright and early. Dad, Mr. Walker and our friends all headed out on their respective races and I rode in my own kid ride. I got to ride with all my drama friends and it was super fun and mom was only hoping that I wouldn't crash. She keeps her expectations low. I ended up doing great and loved it.
After a fun, outdoorsy kind of day, we headed back to the campsite and found this little cutie waiting for us. She was hiding under one of the campers with no tags. She was super friendly and we asked around but no one reported a missing dog. Since everyone in our group are animal lovers, we couldn't just leave her out there. No one was able to take her home so we called the Super Animal Lovers- Uncle Adam and Aunt Erin to see if they could help out. Sure enough, they agreed to take her back to Albuquerque and find her a good home. Thank goodness for that!
As you can see, she settled in pretty quickly......
Hope you all have a wonderful week- we are gearing up for another busy weekend so should be fun!
