So I recently got to hang with Riley for an entire weekend while her mommy and daddy went to California. It was so much fun. Here are a few cute snapshots of this adorable little munchkin. We went to The Shops at Willow Bend to play on their indoor play area (the weather was yucky) but Ri actually liked the fountain more than the play place!!!
It's not easy being that cute!

So Kristy, Scott, Tineka, Alani, Inala, and I were doing the 8 mile ride while Sidonie was a champ and did the 30 mile ride!!!! My experience was pretty funny...I was loving the entire ride experience and I had a blast once we got out of the crowds and had some open road to stretch our legs on!! After climbing up the viaduct in Downtown Dallas we got to fly down it...I got up to 25 MPH and it was a super rush! But then came the bummer twist of the event: mechanical failure on my almost brand new bike! Oh no! So, with an unfixable bike I was supposed to get picked up by a Sag truck, but the truck never came! Kristy decided to call it a ride at the 4.5 mile mark where I had my blowout, so we ended up having to walk 2 miles back to the start. The bummer of it is that I had my snazzy cycling shoes on (which are not conducive to lots of walking) and so I ended up walking in my socks for the 2 miles. I still loved it even though my feet were killing me by the time we got back to the car. My crocs never felt so good!!!What a blast of a time! I can't wait for the next cycling event to come....or really I guess I can't wait for REI to call me on Monday and let me know when I can have my bike all fixed up and back on the road!!!
Here's to some new fun...
