Camping in the Backyard

Published by Nathan August 25th, 2008 in Midwest-Suburban Life and Family Generally. Closed

The only camping we did this summer was in our backyard… and, truthfully, by the end of the night we were all in our own beds. The best of both worlds. I guess that’s what happens when the kids aren’t used to being so close to the sirens, fireworks and barking dogs of the neighborhood. I’d like to think “real” camping would have worked out better, but it’s hard to tell.

Now here’s a bike with a purpose… attention to detail, great narration, and solid illustrations. Wow.

Simple Pleasures

We grew up with mostly dirt bikes. We ued to put up board and brick ramps, and before we were eight years old we were getting some air. I had forgotten how much fun it was, and lately I’ve been making use of the root bumps in the bike path to catch an inch or two of air. Feels good on my light big-wheeled bike. I think I’ll leave the knobby tires on. The lack of derailleur makes the landings quiet and solid. The moustache handlebars and and clipped in pedals help a lot when it comes to pulling the bike up for a little bunny-hop. Another reason to enjoy pedal power…. wheelies, next.

I wish I had some guarantee that little baby tricks won’t ruin my favorite bike.

We have taken a few day-long vacations to the shore of Lake Michigan. The water, sailboats, kites, sand and barbeque have made the days slow and memorable.
