Beating the heat

Sarah's #1 recipe for beating the heat:
1. Sit in the hot sun for hours to make sure you're all good and toasty.
2. Grab a bunch of friends.
3. Drive to your local swimming hole.
4. Laugh as the guys are two scared to jump in from the ledge.
If you do all four steps you are guaranteed to feel cooled off.

This was my Sunday. Church was outside this week and since I missed the memo about getting there and hour early to get a spot under the tent I sat in the sun with my mom and some of my closest friend. Our original plan was to go raspberry picking but after sitting in the sun all we wanted to do was go swimming. So after church I asked a few friends and we went over to a place called 20 Foot in Reading, VT. Named 20 Foot for both the deep water and the 20 foot drop to get into the water (if you so choose, there are shallow areas). Much fun.

This week on Monday Mania with Naomi and I we decided to be a little bit of slackers. I got out of work much later than I expected and didn't have the time to go to the store since Tim needed to work on my car. Instead I picked up Naomi and her bike and headed for the house to go on a ride with Mom. Unfortunately the lovely New England weather had a different plan for us. No bike ride and no food to make. My mom ended up grilling some hot dogs and hamburgers (something that would prove to be a mistake at 4:45 am, hence this early post) and we watched Thelma & Louise. So, exercise= 0 healthiness= 0 fun= :)

Stay tuned for more. ;)

Grill Master's

I have a slightly delayed post for you all tonight. Last Monday Naomi and I got together for our weekly bike ride and cooking extravaganza! Our bike ride started just inside New Hampshire by the farm stand on 12A then went north to the Cornish-Windsor covered bridge. This is the longest covered bridge in America and the longest two span bridge in the world. It's also really pretty. After our nice bike ride we went to Naomi's to grill some shish kabobs. We are becoming master chefs I must say. Steak with mesquite seasonings and vegetables such as onions, peppers, and zucchini. Add pasta salad and Long Trail. Perfect dinner. Who would have thought Monday's could be so good? :)
