look who came to visit us on this fine may weekend?
the weather is unbelievable. it has been 75 on the mountain, thus necessitating that we get up there early and wear t-shirts. it feels quite right to spend the last few days of the season riding with my parents. snowboarding, and mammoth really, has been a family tradition forever. all through highschool we spent the weekends driving up in our red jeep, doing homework by flashlight on the way home. once it became summer, we would add bikes and tents to the car, snowboarding in the morning and riding bikes and hiking in the afternoon. we have annual summer photos at the top, in t-shirts, just like the one above.
the lakes are thawing out too. in a few weeks they will be filled with campers.
there is a similar photo to this hanging in the hallway in our condo in mammoth. my grandpa took it. he, along with my grandma, are the reason we love mammoth so much. my grandpa loved the mountains and rivers and streams, and he loved mammoth. my first memories here are of him, he used to babysit all the grandkids while our parents went skiing. he was a photographer, amongst other things, and for a while he went by theo, (instead of tedd.) i think he is happy i am here, taking photos of what he took photos of, remembering him.
i salute the rivers and lakes!
my scabs are healing nicely, thanks to my mom the nurse and belle and brandy. their love heals all wounds. that also is a proven fact.
