Biking Fun

Carrie came up from Wednesday evening through Sunday afternoon. Here she is helping me get my attendance sheets straightened out. Who would have known how closely examined one of those attendance sheets would be today. Carrie also helped clean up my office, just in time for me to start packing it up tomorrow.

This is at the end of our bike trip on the Kokosing Gap Trail on Saturday afternoon. The weather was beautiful and it was a lot of fun. Carrie is riding infront of the Kenyon College Athletic Center. It is pretty impressive as the college has the 2nd highest tuition in the U.S.

Here is one of the many self portraits we took. It was really a fun weekend even though it was pretty busy with school activities. On Friday evening we had Campus Family Vespers and Carrie helped out by doing the majority of the cooking with pizza and vegetables and chips and drinks. We also watched the NBA All-Star game from this February Carrie brought up this trip. Then after supper and worhip we played Bible Baseball. On Saturday night the Acro-Nics had their Gymnastics Homeshow. Then on Sunday about 1 hour after Carrie left I was at the Junior/ Senior Banquet from 4-11:35 p.m.

This was during the Bible Baseball game toward the end of the Vespers. The team Carrie and I were on won despite some tough competition from the other student team!

Saturday afternoon after church, we attempted to record the Raps. vs. New Jersey first game @ 12:30 p.m. but unfortunately the VCR would not work still. Mom and dad recorded the game for me! My prediction: Toronto in 7. I figured I would not be seeing Carrie's car in front of the gym any time soon!

While Carrie was changing before our bikeride, I walked around campus taking pictures. Here is Kevin next to Chelsea's campaign slogan. Notice the nice Canadian flag. She's got my vote.

Carrie, our 2 bikes and Kenyon's Athletic Center after the ride. Boy were we ready to get back to some water! I was going to go riding tonight, but some heavy storms with small hail are here tonight and I got soaked putting the car in the garage. I've sure been glad for that with snow here from early October through early April this year. What a year this has been all around.

Another self portrait from our bike ride. Look at how pretty and blue the sky was. Out of the next 10 days, 7 are predicted to be rainy. That has been the norm here this year except for 5 1/2 weeks during late January til early March.

This our the reality here most of the time, this was taken last Saturday, April 14. It was snowing and raining off and on and a high of around 36. Great weather...

This was a pretty sundown, I think the night before Carrie came. My car has survived so far despite almost having a large tree limb fall on it and dodging several deer, raccoons, canadian geese, etc.

I've got to head to bed, so this is the last self portrait. I had a great time with Carrie and I really wish she was still here. This year is nearly over and I am looking forward to a possible move closer next year. Seven hours away is no good. I sure look forward to next Wednesday when I can head south for Highland and a great weekend with Carrie.
