Month: July 2022

Guess what? I’ve been busy. I am working on jumping my bike.

I discovered the joy of a good Cuban sandwich.

And I watched Iron Chef on Netflix with The Bigs. It inspired me to create some new recipes. This is a grilled fried rice sandwich.

Here I am making a dessert recipe.

Wasn’t half bad!

And while Mom made Dad peach salad and rice noodle salad for his birthday,

I made dessert. Apples, peanut butter, melted chocolate chips, and avocado chocolate ice cream.

Next up we went to Hood River for the week. I biked through a tunnel like the Tour de France riders.

Had my favorite breakfast, the bagel, egg, and ham sandwich.

Hiked to Umbrella Falls.

Did some swimming. See the buoys behind me.

I swam to them when Mom wasn’t looking. Startled her a bit.

Worked on jumping my bike some more.

Went cherry picking.

We picked this on Wednesday. By Sunday it was all gone.

I did a paddle boarding clinic with a 3x world champion stand up paddle boarder. This was the warm up:

And made lots of mischief with my buddy Kailia

And now I am packed and ready for my next adventure…

The Bigs are bothered by how I wear socks all the time. They say things like: ‘it’s summer., free your toes’. They are particularly bothered by my sock and Croc combination. Seems like a good choice for dribbling practice to me.

After two weeks of mountain biking camp – I am a machine. I also have lots of new rides to take The Bigs on.

But, I am always up for an oldie but goodie like a ride to the chicken (which someone painted red, white, and blue for the Fourth).

I love all things Independence Day and kept busy making lots of patriotic art. Here I am painting a piece of wood to look like a flag.

I made sure my outfit was festive too.

I’ve been pretty busy each week. The Bigs signed me up for all kinds of camps. This week was rock climbing camp. I loved it and it made me so tired – but I still found some time to goof around with Hadley…

and to do some swimming and paddleboarding.

The Bigs have decided we should have reading hour in the afternoon. I believe it is them being lazy. Sometimes I notice them reading with their eyes closed…but I’ve always been a big reader, so I don’t mind.

One exciting new meal this week. Pork with ginger, green onion, and eggplant.
