June 2022

We did a fun evening run called the Glow Run.  It was a fun party atmosphere and our shirts even glowed in the dark!  It was only a two-mile run, but we all did well, and I was proud of my time and proud of both kids!

The next day, my friend Sara and I rode from Fayetteville to Bentonville.  Steve dropped us off and we rode the approximately 30 miles home.  We did enjoy a break in Rogers, where we stopped at a restaurant we'd both wanted to try.  It took us around 3 1/2 hours to do the ride.

Bentonville is becoming a bike mecca in the United States, and this month there was a huge bike fest in town.  We watched professional and amateur bikers do tricks, jumps, and even set a new world record.  The weather was EXTREMELY hot, so heading up to Bella Vista to play in the lake was perfect afterwards!

For Christmas, Brendan got a gift certificate for a 30-minute flight at the instruction company where our neighbor Mike works.  We requested that Mike be the one to take him up, and Emily and I were also allowed to come.  Mike gave him a great experience with a mini lesson.  He showed Brendan how to do the pre-flight check and work the controls.  He even let Brendan fly the plane for a little bit.  I have never ridden in a small craft and neither had Emily.  It was exciting and we were so glad we got to go along for the ride!
