Bike trailer

We've had several weeks of non-stop rain here in Redwood City. Most of the time, the weather is fantastic, but the last few weeks were a little rough. I was suffering from a bad case of cabin fever so it was a huge relief this weekend when the sun finally came out and we had two incredible warm sunny days.

Being a weekend, my parents decided it was a good opportunity to torture me once again. As you will recall, last time they dragged me through the snow in a sled. This time they put me in a bike trailer and rode around the streets of Redwood City with me in tow. I didn't enjoy it all that much, but my parents seemed to get a lot of joy out of recording every moment on film...yes, on their new video camera (don't say I didn't warn you about that camera, see my earlier post about it).

Here are some photos from the weekend.

Will and Sam

We recently had some special visitors. Will and Sam dropped in, they are moving from London to Australia and came to visit on their way through. Their parents are friends of my parents. We went for a ride in the limo-wagon to the park. Sam and I rode in the wagon, and Will did the hard work of pulling us.

Video from Tahoe

Here's a short movie from my recent trip to Lake Tahoe. I hope you like it. It may take a while to load. Click the image to play it.

I'm feeling much better now. My first cold was a tough one to get rid of, and was lingering for almost 2 weeks. My parents got it too. But we all got better just in time for my first trip to the snow! This is Lake Tahoe, a beautiful lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California.

We drove in the car for a very long time, late into the night. There was snow on the roads and we had to go very slowly, I went to sleep. After seven hours we finally arrived at Truckee, a small town just near Lake Tahoe.

We stayed in a nice house with some good friends. My friend Alexandre was there. We had lots of fun together. He showed me how good he has become at walking. He makes it look very easy, but I can't do it yet (don't forget, he is six months older than me). Here's a picture of us hanging out in the lounge room.



My parents kept reminding me that this weekend had something to do with "adventure" but I had no idea what they were talking about until they took me cross country skiing. I rode in a sled - which fortunately was covered because there was an icy gale blowing outside. My Dad towed me most of the time, and didn't seem to notice my crying. Eventually I fell asleep. It was cozy and warm in the sled and I had a sleeping bag wrapped around me. But it was kind of bumpy.



I tried to hold my composure while we got some photos of me and Mom in the snow, but I was pretty much at the end of my rope by this point, and all I wanted was to go back to the warm house and sleep, eat, and play with Alexandre.
