WV Friends: Thanks Kent!

We always take Kent up on his invitations to the house in WV. This year was no exception. It's always a great time and Kent and Paula have some fantastic taste when it comes to food, fun and people (me excluded, of course).

It was Kent's birthday weekend. Here's a few great shots of some great people. Jon, Maura, Robert, Kent, Paula and the fam are in here but we missed a few people who were on a hike during this shot.

As usual, we had a great time, met some great people and Foxy got to run around like a free dog all weekend. Boy, was she tired. And dirty. And covered in ticks.

Here's Emma's first bow and arrow shot. I didn't have my camera for Jeremy's.

Here's Mr Jon and Jeremy and some daytime light-up frisbee. We are big on light-up frisbee around these parts. Jeremy managed to snag all the discs so he could practice. Emma and Jeremy are both pretty good disc throwers. Like their momma, they pick stuff up pretty quickly. They are naturally coordinated, thankfully.

There's no way I could avoid posting a pic of the dog. When we went on a hike up around Kent's property, Foxy took off for a few minutes. After Susan calling the dog at length, she decided to show up while we walked along the ridge. At first, I thought it was a different dog. You can see from the pic, she's COVERED in mud.

As many of you know, Foxy is an off-white dog. She has a few brown spots but not from her paws up to her shoulders. She clearly found a solid mud puddle and decided to take a bath. Oh, to be a dog.

We rode over the mountain to hit Stokesville during the VA IMBA mtn bike festival hosted by your boyfriend and mine, Chris Scott. We did a ride up and over Hankey and down Dowell's. I was running out of time so I just rode around on the road. It was a solid 45 minutes although who remembers such things...

Thanks again Kent and friends. Hope to see you again soon.
