Weekend in town!

Always a good time to run up the beast...
First one since July 8th... which was 8 weekends ago.  Long overdue.  Phew.
Started off with a night at OMCA.  These guys rocked!  As you can see from this guy groovin'.


Had a nice Sat morning dad's crew run with Rob, Sam, and Kev (visiting from Seattle), the highlights being Rob booting at the top of the hill, and an owl sighting.

Hard to see egh?

Afterwards I took the kids to Dracena park with 505 upper.  And had lunch with them at Slicer.
Kevin... wishing he had a 750W motor between his legs.  
Lovin playing with the cartoon mode on my Sony


We cruised in (after a 5 min nap attempt) to the city to Jordy and Mary's housewarming.  Probably the nicest housewarming I've ever seen.


Quite the panoramic view...
Sun morning went on a ride to China Camp with Jack.  On the way there his bike fell off my bike rack... Argh... me no likey Thule...

Jack also ate it hard... 

Then I met up with Kimbo (who took the boys on the radwagon) and Hoefts at Crown Beach.





And after a few hours at the beach, we went to Faction for dinner.


The kids were stoked to have so many IPA options...
... actually, they were playing a game where everytime they made it in the hole...
They'd do a group hug.  I loved it.  
Dinner of champions...
Cheers!

Soon we were on the ferry from Alameda back to Oakland...

Weekly Pano: China Camp


Had a great time at China Camp.  What a fun place to camp.  Got to ride some of the fun trails with Sigman on Sat.  We lucked out on the weather and enjoyed an amazing beach day at China Camp Village on Sun morning.

Group shot

they got some recycling bins so you can carry your gear up to your site.  It's a 5 min walk, which is nice as the kids can run around without worrying about getting hit by cars.  
On Sat, after we set up camp, Kimbo went to Courtney's baby shower.  So I got to go on a long hike with the kiddos.  Kai loved the flowers... he especially like the sticky monkey flower.  
oooh.... moss...
Check out this huge Pacific Gopher Snake that Kai almost stepped on!
Waiting for Kimbo to get back so we can start riding!
@ the top of China Camp... the weather cleared up and we had a blast.  
The scene at camp...
Nikko is a master at lounging
We went on a short sunset hike so the kids could get ready for...
Smores!

Next morning at the beach
A great spot with picnic tables, really easy access, as we had 4 SUPs... and a lot of gear.
The kiddos were awesome.  
There's even a store that sells ice cream!!!
Kai is in heaven... 
Just learned that Dean Potter passed away.... another inspiration gone... a sad day.  Almost exactly a year after his buddy Sean Leary passed away doing the same thing.  With that I'd like to link to Steph Davis' post about Sean.
