Fat Tire Festival Weekend

Last weekend we headed to northern WI with most of Team Beat. Here is a snapshot of our weekend:

Starting at the top left and going clockwise: Emmit enjoying some mamma time, Paul finishing the short and fat race, Gerrit enjoying an apple and pulling down on the barrier so he could see the racers, Emmit and I walking up the hill that Gerrit had just rode his bike down and crashed at the bottom (pretty steep ski hill!), Dave finishing the long race, Adam assisting Gerrit early on in the day - Gerrit is walking his bike down, Paul helping Gerrit ride his bike up, Paul and Gerrit going for a ride at the cabin, Emmit and those 2 teeth (he's getting 4 more on top), the boys checking out the ducks on the dock at the cabin (very friendly ducks), Gerrit enjoying more food at the race, Gerrit and Luke riding down the hill (this time he made it down, still a pretty steep hill, Adam yelling 'break', I closed my eyes, and the crowd around us cheered loudly when he made it to the bottom!), Emmit in his 'cage' - my way of Emmit proofing the cabin, the cabin we stayed in.

It was great to get away and not think about the basement or the mess in the rest of the house for once! The weather was awesome and gave us a taste of fall. The mosquitoes loved Emmit during his nap in the stroller (poor kid looked like he had chicken pox!)

The next bike race we go to will be Adam's....
