Camping & the car

Image
The kids & I went camping this weekend with some friends. It was a ton of fun. Here are photos. W in a tree. Mr. T (haha best internet nickname ever) walking us to the playground. Miss E examining the gap between where we were standing and a rock. Mr. T had taken the kids to the car so they wouldn't see what was coming... This is the gap... This is the view from the safe side of the gap... This is me after I jumped the gap. We wore bandannas to keep our heads free from bugs. It also happened to be "Talk like a pirate day." Isn't it insane how beautiful this is? Resting... J was really tired. I finally gave in and carried her for a while - up hill. She's trying to kill me. This was on Sunday. W taking a break from his play fighting activities to show me how strong he is. Or that he is a rhino. I can't remember.

So, my truck is broken. Which means if I want to get stuff done during the day while the kids are in school I'm gonna have to bike it until I can sell the truck (and the car that I still owe money on) ....which means I need to get back in the habit of biking. Today I biked over to the local gas station that lets you use their air compressor for free and inflated my tires - biking is way easier with air in the tires. You can read a bit more about my mileage and goals here . Oh, and if you don't mind praying that someone buys my broken cars that'd be great. My mom has a friend who is selling a station wagon for $650, I'm going to see if he'd be willing to take it to my mechanic so they can tell me if it is worth that. Then if it is I'm going to be attempting to get money together for it. If for some reason you want to help me get money together for a car I've thrown a paypal link below. Thanks guys!
