We're a Drippy Family



What do you do with a whole gaggle of kids on a holiday when the weather is perfect and you've got time in a day?



You spend a good hour getting every one's bikes tuned up (I say "you" cuz that would be where my SM comes in), you pack a lunch (I say "you" cuz that would be where having a helpful 10 year old comes in), you get everyone loaded up on their bikes, and you hit the trail.



The 25 (give or take) miles of trail. We started at our house and rode up to Bridal Veil Falls. The weather was perfect even though looming clouds threatened to ruin the day but they just bluffed. After we reached Bridal Veil Falls the SM knew we'd all have to put our exhausted bodies back on those bikes even though the coma state called, "I just had lunch and want to sleep now" was hitting strong so he pulled out the ice cream weapon.



On the way home we stopped at Macey's and got ice cream cones. (Our oldest native decided he'd rather spend his holiday with his cousin.......punk......)



This native named his ice cream "Fred".....and then he bit off his head.




Levi hasn't quite figured out that you eat the ice cream first....before the cone......or you've nothing to hold onto.



If you've nothing to hold onto, then you have to shove the whole thing into your mouth real quick but not before you get drips of ice cream all over.




Then again, even if you don't eat your cone first, it doesn't guarantee that you won't get drips all over despite your best efforts.

  6. We used to go to the beach for ward parties in LA. I hated it. They always had watermelon for dessert and it ALWAYS dripped, and you could NEVER wash it off, and the sand stuck to all the drips, so you had these stripes of sand all over your little self. Ah, holidays -
