Fall Family Tradition

Since Jeremy was 12, the same weekend in September every year was spent at Jeremy's grandparent's home in Hayward, Wisconsin. That was the weekend of the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival. Jeremy has raced in the Short & Fat 16 mile mountain bike race almost every year since then.

Since we started dating, I have had the opportunity to join Jeremy's family in Hayward and I look forward to this weekend
every year! It is such a great time to relax and enjoy the crisp autumn air. It is a sure sign that fall is underway.

This year Jeremy, Julie & Justin raced. Jeremy's parents, other sister Megan, grandparents, Jack & I saw them off at the start in Cable then headed to Telemark Ski Resort to cheer them across the finish line. It was great! Jeremy earned his best time ever - 1:12:19!!!

I think the best part of the whole weekend was watching Jack be a boy and play in the dirt. I spread out a sweet little blanket and some toys for him. He pushed the toys aside and lifted the blanket. He grabbed handfuls of dirt and of course, put it right into his mouth!

Oh, and Jack finally rolled over too! He went from the front to back! Great Grandpa Al & Great Rose were honored to be able to witness it first hand.
