North Carolina....Mountains to Coast Ride

My dad and step-mom are doing an amazing thing this week.

Something I hope Josh and I could participate in someday.

They are doing a Mountain to Coast bike ride across North Carolina.

They are riding anywhere from 70-80 miles a day...for 7 days

Tent camping at their rest stops each night!

you can go here is a link to the event

I tell you this; to tell you another story...

Tonight the girls and I went for a walk in the neighborhood

I was walking at a "workout pace"

Josh was running with the pup

(btw, I call all our dogs pups even though they are 6+ years old)

The girls were riding their bikes

Our neighborhood is ONLY 2.1 miles

They were in tears and full of complaints 1\2 way though...but they did finish!

So, way to go babes!

But to their defense we do have what feels like constant rolling hills in our neighborhood!

But I couldn't help but think about the miles that my parents put in today, HA!

So major kudos goes out to my parents and the amazing journey that they are on this week!!

TGIF...

It was brought to my attention that I have failed my kids!

They had no idea what T.G.I.F means...

Oh.My.Goodness!

The girls and I were riding in the car

I don't remember how it came up but I said,

"T.G.I.F"

Lilly responds with,

"What is Gele-i-f"

I thought for a second (and giggled)

and thought maybe she didn't understand me

so I repeated myself

"I said T.G.I.F"

To that they said, "What's that?"

Oh. My.

Have I taught my children NOTHING in life??

Fridays were a big deal as a kid

not because it was Friday

or the weekend

but there was Friday Night T.V....TGIF!

Full House

America's Funniest Home Videos

(When Bob Saget was host!)

Steve Urkle

(What's the name of that show??)

I know that there were others that came on too,

but man, as a kid I loved those shows

So I officially schooled my girls in what TGIF means!

Whew...disaster averted! HA!
