Something is seriously wrong with my humans

Ha ha!  I just grabbed those clean socks for the 10th time today and I'm going to sit here on the couch until they notice....then they'll chase me and it will be so much fun! They get so worked up when I grab their clothes!

Hmm.  No response. That's completely unexpected.  Did they not see that I have the socks again?  I am kind of tired.  Maybe they're tired, too?  Nope.  They'll see the socks soon.  Then, IT'S ON!

Dang it.  I guess they don't care about the socks anymore.  What else can I do to get them to chase me and have fun?  I guess I could moan and groan.  That might get their attention.  Wait...what happened to the socks??

Somebody.  Please.  Play with me.  Please.  I'm so bored.  Nobody wants to play with me!  Now I'm so tired.  Maybe I'll just...just close my eyes.  Just for a bit.  ZZZzzzzzz.......

Mini Adventuring is a Real Thing You Know

Busy people, busy lives.  We have to take our free time when we can get it.  Last week we had a couple goals in mind so we combined them.  One goal was to visit the fun little trail systems in Jackson and Cape.  First we hit Klaus Park.  What a blast!  If it were not for the leaves and acorns on the ground, we would have achieved some serious velocity.  The Beautiful Mrs K caught me smiling as I rode behind Eli.  

He's gotten seriously fast!  He loves to go downhill and jump whatever is in the way.  It sure is fun following him on the trail.  This stuff was right up his alley.  After eating a few snacks, we drove right across the road and hit the Crossroads trail.  It's fun, too, with some great jumps and ledges.

From Cape, we headed back north for our second goal: meeting up with the most glamourous Perryville resident.  It was a beautiful day to sit outside and have an early dinner with our girl.

Here, we sort of replicated our photo from Hanna's graduation day a couple years ago.  Look at the height on that bun! We were fortunate to have such a great day to be together.

While in P-Vegas, we toured the new-ish Vietnam Memorial.  It's beautiful and a powerful reminder of the sacrifices our citizens have made.  All of the flags, blowing in the wind at full attention, were amazing.

And what was going on in the chaotic world of Remi the Hound Dog while we were adventuring?  It seems as though the youngest member of our family is courting the female husky from the corner of the back yard.

They usually end up in some kind of kissy-face situation, such as this.  It's so cute it makes me want to cry.  We were very happy to know that while we couldn't bring him on this latest adventure, he was juuuuuust fiiiiiiine on his own.

Mini Adventures - Because Any Adventure is better than No Adventure

We are busy people.  This isn't a competition or anything, but we do have a lot of irons in the fire.  The Beautiful Mrs K and I doubled down this year and decided we were going to go places and do things we enjoyed doing, even if it meant we were pushing some limits.  We've been adventuring all year.  There are times, though, when we have to cram in smaller adventures to accommodate everything we want/need to get accomplished.  Last night we made do with a small adventure to our favorite little hole in the wall coffee house, Cafe Nova. 

We were the only people sitting outside on the awesome patio, probably because it was a bit chilly.  But we had a big ol' heater making things better as we stuffed ourselves with proper Mediterranean food.  Lovely place, lovely people.

Today, we turned our late afternoon mountain bike ride into an adventure.  Mrs K and I took Eli to Bluffview, one of his favorites.  He's getting so good.  Mrs K told Eli and I to do our thing so she could go do her own ride.  We did 10 miles this time, including the entire West Side of Zombie!  No walking, minimal dabs. I'm so proud of him, as he's even starting to climb really well.  700+ feet of climbing for the young Mr K!

Meanwhile, the Beautiful Mrs K was climbing Zombie East...northward.  Wow, I told her later...that's not exactly the direction I would have told you to go, but YOU GO GIRL!  

Adventures come in many forms.  Stealing away for a quick night out or soaking in the cool evening air, we have to take what we can from life.
