Thanks, that is the problem with bringing two cameras i guess but, one is really nice and just too heavy to tote around. thankfully i did not lose that one.

There will be more pictures over the next week or so, but here are a couple.

I went to Bosu class Friday morning before heading out for a weekend of mountain biking and camping, Maidei really wanted to go as well. Maidei was curious about this "Bosu" thing. Her companion wasn't interested in leaving home at 5am!

After checking out the list of exercises for the hour long class she sat down for a few minutes to conserve her energy Then she had to try one of them for size and thinks she might have to take off her jersey for the class.

Here are a couple of photos from the Sub-9 Super-D mtb/camping weekend two weeks ago. I had hopes of having Maidei and her new friend help with my volunteer activities, but the organizer has a 3 year old who was quite taken with her. I am unsure what would have happened to the two companions if they had gone adventuring

In the first picture, Maidei is catching some rays before the bike ride, while her companion was checking out possible nesting places on the bike.

I seem to keep forgetting to actually take my camera on the trail, so here is another shot of our fearless globe-trotting duo checking out a friends mountain bike when we returned from our ride this past weekend.

As you can see, they are both ready for action! Either that, or they are resting and thanking their lucky stars they survived my crash on the trail! Not to worry fearless duo, you were quite safe in my hydration pack - certainly safer than I was

Maidei requested I add a map of the wonderful trail system at Brown County State Park before sending her to her next hostess, and I will do that. We have more activities planned for the Labor Day weekend, rain permitting, but after that it is probably time for her to travel to her next stop.

Who wants her next? I do want to take her road riding with me and hopefully I can remember my camera this time - and to actually stop to provide her a photo op!

Maybe the 3 yr. old could have considered a tricycle ride with Maidei.

My concern was more about where they would wind up if we lost track of her - that little one moves FAST BTW, that 3 year old has already had her first mountain bike ride - on her Strider - at age 2

Yea, young children can whip around all over the place with not a care in the world.
