Ate Mexican at Navy Pier -- a relatively fast, kid-friendly place; and here you see all five of the grandkids in attendance and none of the adults (who were the actual consumer of the adult drinks you see on the table. Zachary, Andy, Becca, Kaelin and Anna. DD2 wisely chose not to join us this year. Would have been too much for the three-year-old twins, plus her sister-in-law was unavailable to watch the baby (well he's almost still a baby, even if he's walking!)

Got the steps the usual way -- plus using the stationery bike while watching the women's marathon (left it to add my steps here, though)

So I did go back and watch Michael! YES! (I saw Mark Spitz, too) and the Aussie women (Yes!) and Dora Torres (Hooray for the oldies!) then took Sallie out for a two-round cul-de-sac victory lap.
Mandolin minutes above 1 hr: 10
Alternate aerobic exercise minutes: Stationery bike: 20

Stationery bike??? That's unusual for you.

Is this trip an annual event then? I didn't know that. You have beautiful grandchildren (doesn't one of them sort of remind you of one of the great aunts????)what more is there to say?

First annual :) We'll see if there's a second. Becca? Looks a lot more like her mother than her sister does. At the grade school, the long-time teachers thought Kaelin was Christine's daughter, rather than Mark's -- she's heard comment often.

Stationery bike -- I'm in the Variety Challenge in which we're supposed to include four days of alternate exercises a week for four weeks and use at least four different kinds of alternates at least once. So this is my second kind. Hope to include swimming one day before we leave (will try for a cabin day Tuesday night - Thursday, if you're interested); my fourth will be weights, I think.

I saw that competition but thought it sounded pretty complicated. Good for you for expanding your workouts.

T-Th? Sounds lovely...am I ready for school yet???

Mary, I've watched you for years: you're always ready (and never think so). I know, I'm speaking to one who wants to insure her insurance... :)
