Recap of some Fall Events-Eleni starts School!
8/9/09 Friends Jason & Kristin got married up on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Beautiful ceremony right on the beach, good times for sure.
Nicole and I camped out at Split Rock light house the night prior and had a pretty sweet site with a large "split rock" of all things right in our site.
Had time for a short ride the morning prior to the wedding, Rode to the top of day hill which had a great view.
The next weekend was the Border Battle bike race in River Falls, WI. MN vs. WI series.
MN Put up a good battle, but WI took the cup again this year. Made it a solo trip and camped out nice relaxing getaway with lots of time to think.
Eleni broke her collar bone on August 17th. She was running with her cousins and got tripped up and fell just right. 2.5 hr wait in the "waiting room" in the ER for x-rays told us what we already knew.. Yep -Broken!
Friends Zach & Susie got married August 29th the girls had a great time dancing. Nicole & Eleni rocked the Hokey-Pokey sticking the RIGHT arm in, but Eleni stuck her left since the right one was on the injured reserve list.
Beach time at the reception.
The first year of our garden was a learning experience. Tomatoes, beans, peas, peppers, lettuce, herbs and a few cucumbers. Lots of tomatoes waiting to turn red.
Labor Day, Maplelag weekend of bike racing. Time trial Saturday morning and Short Track in the afternoon. Two new events for me, need to be in better shape for those sprint type races. Sunday was the XC event, paced myself and rode well..always good times.

ELENI STARTS KINDERGARTEN!
First day of school with her pile of school supplies to stock up her share of the class. Missing a freshly lost front tooth with a nervous look on her face and don't forget the big box of tissues.
Sept 12th, Happy Birthday to me, along with the Dick Beardsley 1/2 marathon which Nicole and her sister Katie did the relay in. I pulled the girls in the Burley and leap frogged the event cheering for all the runners. Record turn out this year and Nicole and Katie did great, Congrats Ladies and well done!
Nicole looking strong at the end of her leg.
A few friends came over for a bonfire that night with a lot of kids running through the woods in the dark with flashlights screaming looking for big foot. Unfortunately forgot to take the camera out of my pocket that night to capture the chaos.
A nice day on the water today. Wish we would have had some days like this earlier in the summer! Lake like glass, kids got to go tubing again FINALLY.
Marlo and Cousin Ella getting a lesson for next year (maybe?)
