Had a good outside day.. which is what I needed. I’m very tied up in my work right now and needed soem time not to think about it.. I didn’t stop thinking about it, but at least I was outside in the fresh air while I did it..

 

The day began with a shortstop (lol) at Rob and Lisa’s to watch gabe play in a wiffle ball tournament.. I don’t know if the kid has ever picked up a baseball.. but he played well. It was great to see the setup that Rob had put together.. there were teams there from all over.. i think the the event lasted a day.. we left after the first game because we were on a mission.. .. we had to do soem scoping for our upcoming camping trip.

on the way to thour hike, we stopped by to say hi to chris and kim.. chris showed us hi s latest, a baby sub.. awwwww isn’t it cute ?

Chris also showed us a irdpath that Gab made out of a rock the other day.. very cool

We went home, changed shoes then drove to stowe. Next week we’re goign to hike from Stowe all the way home, we needed to check out how to get to the long trail from the top of the gondola.. we hiked up.. (loosing my glasses ion the way).. the top of the gondola was packed with summer tourists. kind of funny to see after our quet and stepp hike up the mountain.

hen a short but (to me) very scary) scramble around the cliffs we made it to the long trail this time Thursday we’ll be up there somewhere.. again.

We got back hoem around 6 after a careful walf down the mountain looking for my glassses.. no joy there.. but.. it was a greathie overall..

 

we came hoe and diane cooked pizza on the grill  .. the pizza was great, but the cooking stone dodnt survive the ordeal.

Sam had been on our mind all day.. seeing all the kids playing wiffleball, many of them friends of Sam.. had brought him very very close.. I was appy to see a magazine for him in the mail his evening.. things like that make me somehow happy.

ok.. dian and I are both beat.. off to bed now.. more tomorrow..

night all, night sam
