Good job, boys!

On Monday, Dirk and Jonah rode their bikes to the Swan Falls Dam--28 miles. Jonah was a real trooper. It took them about three hours. The rest of us came in the van with food.
Kept the van in this picture--with the bikes on top. The last stretch of road comes up to the ravine and drops (quite dramatically) in switchbacks down to the reservoir. It was quite a ride! Go cycling merit badge!



for FHE that night, we called Grandpa Lish and listened to a story on speaker phone. He told us about his brother Charles (Snookie) who died while fighting in WWII. He was in the mechanized cavalry fighting in northern France. It was a nice end to a great Memorial Day!

I am so impressed Jonah did that ride. I am jealous- it sounds like fun. What great pictures of everyone in their new shades!

That is quite the ride. That is quite an ordeal. I am so impressed that Jonah made it! I took the scouts on a 50 mile bike ride. I know that can be very difficult indeed. What a great way to celebrate Memorial Day too. Grandpa on speaker phone. We have not tried that, but that is a very good idea for FHE. Miss you guys! --Lee Freeze.
