Anika's 7th Birthday

Anika tests a hoop before applying her rainbow color scheme with electrical tape

We held a hula-hoop making party for Anika's 7th Birthday. The kids loved it. Thanks to my cousin Melissa for sharing her "recipe": 100 psi 3/4" irrigation tubing, 3/4" connectors, pvc cutter, electrical tape and a hair dryer. Cut to length, heat ends, jam on connector, decorate to suit. These pictures from neighbor Alex who took much better photos than mine.

New triple meets new house

We finally unpack the Bike Friday Triple and introduce it to our new house. The inaugural trip today was rather short - four blocks to the Mountain View Art & Wine Festival, many future adventures beckon.
