How fun! Glad she's enjoying the "slopes."

How cool are those skis? Looks like Maidei needs to stay on the Bunny Slope for awhile.

Maybe she had trouble with the silver cord that comes off the ski tips

Ha! Ha! I knew someone would say something about that

Before we began our long trip home, we visited Lowden State Park where the 48 foot statue of Chief Blackhawk sits on a 70 foot bluff overlooking the Rock River and the town of Oregon.

We got on the road and headed south, making a stop in Bloomington at the bike shop to stretch our legs and do a little shopping. Maidiei enjoyed the trip and was a good passenger. She even took a little nap with Yuki, our dog.

(Sorry I'm dragging this out but want to add the pictures).

Once we arrived home, Maidiei made herself at home and was thrilled to see the new bike jersey given to her by the River to River Cycling Club.

Today, Maidiei and I took a trip to Rend Lake and did some riding on the bike trail. She really enjoyed herself and wore her new jersey. After the ride, she took a break on the swings and did a little site-seeing.
