Bagel-Balls, mud and hobo-gore tex

The kids just finished their 2-week spring vacation. We had a really good time as a family – just spending time together. We didn’t go anywhere as I still had classes and work to do. Also the kids didn’t really go outside all that much as it was cool and rainy for what seemed like the entire time. So they found (or rather, had found for them) things to keep them busy.  Like bagel-making morning. Susan had the kids help her with a big double batch of bagels. Each of them could make one into whatever shape they wanted.
Micah created a bagel-Death-Star




Matea opted for a ‘bagel-baguette’
Jonah made his own creation – and then asked if he could make a full batch of bagel-balls. Susan told him that if he did everything himself, then he could. So he did. And we were eating bagel-balls for a few days. Our favorite was to toast them in the oven, then skewer them and dip them in melted Nutella.

Of course a little rain cannot keep them inside for all that long.  So they went out in a manner that – to them- seemed quite well prepared.

The sun did come out a few times – and I took advantage of it to have my first real bike ride since I fell and separated my shoulder last fall (which is the reason I started running in the first place)

looks like a trail to me

I actually forgot how much I love mountain biking when you can leave the house and be on actual mountain trails just at the end of our street.

Add a little bit of damp to the forrest floor -and let the fun begin!
