Over the weekend, when we had the grandkids here, I was outside in the barn with the oldest. He's 7 years old. He was so helpful in the barn. He made himself busy sweeping up the aisles, helped me (as much as he could!) clean the stalls, and then we went out on my golf cart. I told him he can drive! Actually, just steer. :) I had my foot on the gas and brake. But he had a ball! We went all over the property, several times.

At one point, we were driving past the horses when suddenly he exclaims, "Whoa, look at Stilts' penis!"

Without even looking, I knew what was happening. And I burst out laughing hysterically!! He was dead serious and for a moment couldn't understand why I was laughing! But I was wayyyyy beyond stopping! I almost fell out of the golf cart, laughing so hard! Finally, it got contagious and he started laughing too! OMG...what a riot! I'll never forget that innocent, "Whoa, look at Stilts' penis!" :lmao:

I suppose the geese in the Carolinas have a better idea of what's going on lol and the hummingbirds have also returned. I hope they take me back to Mexico with them next winter.
 
And, they are off! 1 full week in Majorca, Spain to climb the mountains on road bikes. Sa Calobra here they come...

There’s a bigger group in total but going from different pick ups. Hopefully he’ll send me a proper group pic.

Do you think Tara misses him already?

My 17-25 year old self would be begging to go on a cycling trip with them! The bike boxes are really cool too- never saw those before. Will the bikes be going in cargo on a plane? Tara knows something is up and suspects she will be sad for a little while ;)

They’re pretty cool. They have wheels on, too. The bike is dismantled inside the box and with the use of foam pipe and tape you can safely protect it.

Yes, you pay extra for the bike box at booking to be kept in cargo. Approx £25.00 for both ways. Cheap really. Saves hiring a bike abroad, plus you can’t beat your own bike.

A few pics from last year..

I figured if they were driving, they would use bike racks and not have to partially disassemble the bikes. They must bring a pretty good kit of tools with them when they travel.

Pumps, tubes, tools galore. Lol

His flight was delayed by 2 hours, he boarded the plane just 30 minutes ago. By my calculations he’ll land at approx 01.30 in the morning. Straight to the hotel, some kip, breakfast then straight out to those mountains.
 
Sarah it looks like your husband is set up for a wonderful time in a beautiful landscape. Cycling is incredibly popular in the area I live, one of Lance Armstrongs team mates owns a hotel literally down the street from me and is a total destination spot for cyclists, they even host races certain times of the year.

Yesterday started off as a pretty great day. It was beautiful and sunny, I got off work early and loaded up the dogs to head to the preserve. All of us had a really good time, the geese even came over to hang out with us again. On the way back Brinks cut his paw on something and he has been limping since, it's not major but I still hate seeing him hurting. He hasn't even asked me to play with him today. But that's not even the worst part of the day, later that night I went into the bathroom and fell. Hard. The same knee I had surgery on nearly two years ago for a torn meniscus is now sporting a chipped femur. And possibly (probably) more screwed up cartilage as the ER only performed an X-ray and not an MRI. I have a giant leg cast on, an unwelcome respite from work, and will know more once I see an orthopedic doctor. Uhg!! The dogs have been incredibly thoughtful towards me, bless their hearts. They both cuddled up comforting me as I tried to cry myself to sleep last night :(.

From the fun part of the day:
