HP02 is Back

Well ladies, it is with much embarrassment that HP02 admits that after a summer of no blogging, she actually had to look up the blog password. Can you ever forgive her???

Where does one start when one has been so delinquent? We shall start with Colorado. HP02 took 5 days to camp, hike, kayak and recreate in the Colorado Rockies 2 weeks ago with the Siete and the rest of the fam. AWESOME. The Siete is 5 months pregnant, and she looks so freaking cute!! And as usual Uncle Bear kicks ass! We ended up camping, hiking and kayaking, but no hard core peak-climbing this time...a combination of excessive cocktails and a guilt trip by MOM ("you haven’t spent enough time with me") put the kibosh on that. Oh well- next time!

Then last weekend HP02 biked 25 miles on Friday after work, to Springfield. She thought she would just cycle on the roads, you know, on the shoulder- BAD idea! Turns out there are no shoulders in suburban VA. Then on Saturday HP02 participated in the Amazing Race, a fundraiser for overseas charities put on by a local church. HP02 ran a total of 5 miles with her 3 teammates, thru the streets of DC/Arlington, searching for clues and trying to beat the competition. While we didn’t win, we became convinced that we should be the next contestants on the real Amazing Race, because if nothing else we would ROCK their ratings with our drama...


HP02 is now getting ready for HotPantsLittleSister to come to town. We are going to WHOOP IT UP in DC!! Anyone interested in joining?
