What a cool town. Kervin had 3 bike races. The one on Saturday was supposed to go from Durango to Silverton. That may not mean much to most people who read this but for those of you who’ve been there, you know why that’s something to talk about. Well, unfortunately (fortunately for me) it was cancelled since the mountain pass was covered in snow and slush. So we just hung out at the camp where we stayed. We stayed at a Christian youth camp called Cross Bar X Youth Camp. Here’s what our day looked like:
Then Sunday morning was Nora’s first bicycle race. She was so excited and up for the challenge. They went off in separate heats, by age. She was the first 3 year old girl, 4th overall. Pretty good. First and third place were also Like-A-Bike’s. She had so much fun. Here she is waiting for her race to begin:
And after the race her smile just got bigger:
After that Kervin got second place in his criterium bike race. Basically it’s a 45 min race plus 3 laps around 2 diagonal city blocks, so lots of fun turns for him and very spectator friendly. It was a long day and we spent almost all of it out in downtown Durango. Before long, this is what that looked like:
On Monday Kervin did a time trial and got 2nd so he won a cash prize for each of his second places plus more cash for doing the best overall in the combined races. Cool!
We stayed at the Cabin. Here are our friends kids we stayed with:
Luc, Ella, Chelsea, Isaac, and Nora
Then we decided to stay an extra night and leave early Tuesday morning. So we went to the pool again. This was Isaac’s first time in a pool. And look what Kervin thought he’d enjoy!:
Not so much.
Nora’s favorite part of our trip to Durango was Luc. Luc is our friend’s 10 year old little boy. He adores Nora and loves playing with her, lets her beat up on him and helps her out. She loves it.
But if you ask Nora who she’s going to marry she’ll still say “Daddy”…….well, 9 times out of 10 anyway. Sometimes it’s “Caleb”.
