7-5-09: You'd think that after a hard run with a mountain biker in the hills, they'd be tired! But no, here they are! They definitely are 1 year olds, full of energy!
Nabi, the retriever, belongs to the Choi family, and we're dog sitting for them.

Piano recital, then mtn. bike ride
7-4-09: A day after turning 12, Summer tries something she has never done before: riding in the dirt!
After playing in a piano recital, the sun was setting and Keri wanted to give the dogs their evening run, so I decided to run with them and Summer to ride her mtn. bike for the first time in the hills where we ride and hike.
It was actually already sunset when we started, so we knew we were pressed for time. By the time we got to the top, it was getting dark (as you'll see in the video), and Summer was scared of the downhill, the speed, and the sand, so she ran down while Keri rode a little of the first part, but then it was too dark for her, too, so I got to ride down--yeah!! That was much better than running down with a dog pulling you to go faster. Roxy and I waited for them at points down the hill, back to the park.
Nice first outing--she did really strong on the flats and uphills, with little help from me and only getting off to hike-a-bike twice!

BTW, here's her piano piece she played just prior to this mtn. bike ride (great idea...the little kids played first while we sang, then we went thru line for the potluck food--filipino food!, and then we got to eat while the older kids played their pieces. So it went by really fast!)
