The Adventures of Milo, Lorie, and Brian Groth: Hobbies

Minnesota – July 2008

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:09:21 GMT

After just two days, we have gone sailing, kayaking, wake boarding, knee boarding, skurfing (pre-cursor to the wake board), swimming, diving, golfing (yes, even me), driven golf carts (the good part about golfing), and ridden a paddle boat. We still need to get some bike riding in, especially since this is where my recumbent bicycle has ended up. A bit too much food though! The Pimm’s we brought from England has been popular, although possible with us more than our local relatives.

As you can see from the photos, the weather has been great, which has made the sailing a bit of a challenge, but everything else good. Only a few mosquito bites so far, which is certainly a rare bonus.

This would be fun: a "Sail/yak"

I would love to try one of these. Too bad we don't live on Lake Union anymore, since I'm not sure I would want to sail/pedal/paddle one of these on the English Channel.

Brian & Ripley at Hyak

Brian and Ripley hiked up Hyak 3 times today (April 3) and snowboarded down each time. Brian could have done more runs, but Ripley was getting VERY tired.

Where is Ski Season

The little bit of snow we had is now getting rained on. The CMONSTR wants to get out into the snow and Ripley needs to experience snow for the first time!
