Cottage Works

Doug and I have been working on the cottage the last few days. It is finally coming along. The first day that we worked I was just following Doug around doing absolutely nothing for about thirty minutes. He would ask me to hand him a hammer every once in a while but that was it. After I made repeated jokes about what a good assistant I was... Just call me Al... he finally told me that if I wanted something to do I could put the studs in above the headers. We had so much fun. We hope to really be done with the framing tomorrow! Next comes the roof and then siding....yay!!!

Progress

We are so excited about the progress on the cottage! It will be completely framed in by Saturday!

Mountain Biking?

We attempted to go mountain biking on Sunday after church although things did not go quite as planned!

-Summer forgot to get her clothes and then didn't have time to find any so she wore normal clothes. She also forgot to get her shoes so she had to wear regular shoes that were too big.
-Morgan had only ridden once
-Everyone forgot water except for me and Doug
-We had a time restriction due to Fins birthday party
-Jon told us to go to Heritage because was "marked way better" that Fort Yargo

When we got to the trailhead we looked at the map, filled the (minimal) water containers and headed out! The first thing we hit was a huge hill and both Summer ate it. At the bottom there was a fork in the trail and, suprisingly enough, it was not marked at all! We went three different ways and then just kept going. The trail was pretty tough for beginners and so soon we realized that we would have to turn around. We came across a woman who told us we were going backwards on the trail and that is why it was more difficult.

At this point we all tried out the meager supply of water which ended up being useless because the water had so much metal in it you could barely gag it down... I gave up!

When we got back to where we started we still couldnt find the right trail so we chose to go on the baby trail because we were running out of time. We were told it was 2-3 miles long and a "fun little trail."

It was a great little trail and when I say little I mean like 1/2 a mile type of little trail. We went once and then the boys went to find something a little more challenging. Summer, Morgan and I went on the "Boy Scout" trail several more times and had a great time. It was actually a great trail for Morgan to practice on.

All in all... a great time but definitely not a mountain bike ride!

Just me and My Sister!
