Kieran and Barbara are great hosts and the boys are in their element. The property has everything a boy (of any age) could desire: a big backyard (perfect for soccer and MX), motorbikes galore (5 at last count), bicycles, scooters, a basketball hoop and a pellet gun!
Adding to the excitement are a yacht on Lake Canandaigua, a canal boat (see pic), Playstation 2, a big screen TV and an outdoor spa round off the excitement. So, we don’t need to go to Disneyland – but continuing with the dirt bike theme, we are going to the 5th round of the AMA motocross championship at Budds Creek (Maryland), just south of DC this weekend.
We are also going to spend a day in DC and two days in New York city. Both boys have lists of what they want to see in both cities and Mike has a few meetings in NY.
On an unrelated note, yesterday we took a drive to two of the fingerlakes (Canandaigua and Penn Yan) and admired the Amish and Menninite quilting work (we thought of you Jan and Bron). We also popped in to visit Cassidy's grandparents (Jake and Anne) and the beautiful lakeside cottage where we spent our first sabbatical in 1999.
