Sea Otter Classic Bike Festival 2012

 Yesterday Sabrina and I had a fabulous Mommy n me day.  we met up with our friends the Halls to enjoy a day at the Sea Otter Bike Classic, a HUGE weekend of nothing but cycling!  Road cycling, mountain biking, tricks, flips, obstacle courses, and everything in between.  The weather was super hot so we thought it best to keep Maddie at home with Daddy.  (report from Jerry:  We went to the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum and had a fun time.  There was also a children's faire outside the CDM and Maddie really enjoyed looking at real silkworms)  Jodi was super nice and got me a parking pass for her campground area, that saved us a lot of time getting to the actual festival!  As it was the kids area was on the other side of the grounds so it took a while to get there.  But Sabrina was a trooper.  She was so excited to be around everyone else with their bikes.  When we got to the kids area there was a kid's obstacle course, with a teeter-totter and a narrow bridge.  She must have done that course at least 15 times.  then we went over to the big obstacle course and Sabrina did that one too!  Once we met up with Dillon and his sister Lucie, there was also a "race" for the kids and Sabrina (and everyone else) got a cool shiny medal.  We got to see the whole mountain bike trick champion jump around and do crazy stuff on his bike.

By this time Sabrina was done so we went off for some well deserved lunch.  After lunch for a special treat Sabrina and Dillon got to do this cool bungee cord trampoline thing, where they are strapped in and can jump really high, without worrying about getting hurt.  By now it was pretty late and we needed to get back home.  Sabrina was wiped and fell asleep in the car as soon as we started driving.  After we got home Sabrina got right in the bath and I took a shower because that place is pretty dusty to begin with, plus all the riding and running around we were doing.  For dinner we all went to In n Out for dinner where we happened to run into the Lim's.  After dinner all the kids got to run around in the grass.  What a great day!
