Hilly Hundred

not only was last weekend a big weekend for David, it was a big one for Hadley!  David rode the Hilly Hundred and Hadley experienced Bloomington for the first time!

David kinda amazes me with his continued interest in cycling, and his desire to do the Hilly.  The weekend was beautiful, but windy. DG didn't complain or gripe about the hills (mountains??) and had so much fun! He was proud of himself, as he should be, and was pumped to learn that Mt. Tabor has a crazy grade, something like a 28 degree incline??  Jenny and I drove to the lunch spot to see Matt and David and the drive there was scary enough for us! I was white knuckling the wheel the entire time.  Needless to say we went well out of our way to get back to Bloomington so we could take 2 lane highways. 



The celebratory bike picture!
 and with Matt
100 miles!!  (actually more like 106, but who's counting!)


The Hilly is split between two days so it allowed us to have more fun in Btown!  On Friday night we landed at Grazie for dinner with the Bolings (oh reminiscent of our rehearsal dinner!) to let the boys carbo load :) Then on Saturday we ate at Farm (hello Lugar burger!) and took Hadley to her first Assembly Hall experience!  The Hoosier Hysteria crowd was so big, we were in the balcony - but it was still fun!  David thought it was "easy as pie" to take Hads to AH, so he sees lots of father/daughter IU bball games in his future.  I had a different opinion of the experience :) ha!

On Sunday we were able to dine at Village Deli (yum!!) and browse the shops on Kirkwood.  Check out Hadley's first visit to the sample gates :)



gorgeous day in Bloomington!!

We can't wait to take Hadley back down for more Bloomington fun!!  We just need to find her a cheerleading uniform to wear during games.  We might have to wait for next season to find one that fits. 

Jenny and I are already planning next year's Hilly weekend with a 14 month old and  a 9 month old!  Fun :)
