summer biking spontaneity

We decided to bike through a trail in a place called Deep Lock Quarry in Peninsula, Ohio today. We went there, but didn’t end up going to the quarry, but to the paths that joined up to it, which were a lot longer. The signs also said that bikers can only ride on paved pathways, and the quarry path was dirt. So, maybe we’ll go walking there some time!

I need to tighten my helmet…it’s kind of lopsided…

The bike ride was really fun, and had beautiful scenery. The only problem is that at the end we had to bike up a pretty steep hill, and we did it without stopping, so we were both really tired at the end! Also, today, for the very first time in his life, Silas peed in the woods! He was quite proud of himself!

Here’s a video of us before, during and after our exhausting bike ride today! Some of the clips are lower quality, because when I would video while riding, I would accidentally switch into compact mode, and I didn’t always realize it. Anyway, here it is!

P.S. Not sure why Silas had his DS with him, but that was silly.

 
 

video editing practice

I’ve been wanting to do some video editing lately. I have done some in the past, but yesterday I thought I’d brush up on it, and I made a little video of my sister Stephanie, making Ramen noodles when she was at my house at the end of January this year.

Anyway, basic video editing is very easy and fun. Hope you like the video!

 
 

cross stitch craft

When I was little, I did a couple cross stitch projects, or at least I started them. So lately I thought it would be fun for me to do one again! So, I went to Jo-Ann ETC and bought one that will go nicely in the laundry room.

Below is a picture of how the final product should look:


   

It’s the biggest picture I could find of it on the internet. I can’t show you how much progress I’ve done on my actual cross stitch so far, because I left my camera in my parents’ vehicle a few days ago, so I won’t have it for about a week.

I don’t have time to just sit and work on my stitchery for long periods of time, so I just do a little here and there, whenever I have a few minutes free. I’ll update you on my stitchery every once in a while. :)
