Although the kids said they were tired after basketball, Christopher was up for a bike and scooter trip across the local Santa Fe Dam with his Cub Scout troop. (Stacey stayed home, and Kelly went over Portia's.) We estimated the entire trip to be about 3-4 miles, and Christopher was the head of the pack of the scooter crowd. Meanwhile, Dad trailed signifigantly behind having no wheels other than the ones that got them to the dam. It was a good fun hike for him, though. At the start/end there was quite a steep ramp of maybe 150 yards to get to the top of the dam. Well, boys being boys, they raced down at breakneck speed as a thrill ride! Actually, Christopher, not wanting "broken neck" speed, jumped off his scooter about 1/4 of the way down, but seeing everyone else had survived, got right back on and made the rest of the trip. Of course, in classic 8 year old boy style, Christopher, Alex, and Dexter ended up making 6 consecutive trips down (and up!) the hill. Afterwards, Christopher and I went to Denny's where I got my first animal protein in the week. Dining Tip - if you want to make Denny's taste good, go on a juice fast for a couple days!
