MUni at Calvert Cliffs

Yesterday Jam and Sly joined PAX and MAW from unicyclist.com for a MUni ride on the service road at Calvert Cliffs. PAX and MAW have been doing some MUni for a while now, but Jam and Sly were newbies. Boy, was it a lot of fun! And what an amazing workout! I rediscovered muscles I forgot I had! But I tell you what, give me a couple days (to get past some aches and to let the rain pass), and Sly and I will be hitting the trails again. THIS is gonna be what can get momma back into decent shape! And what an amazingly fun way to do it! Gorgeous day, good friends, great fun on one! Anyone want to babysit my little ones while the big one and I go hit the trails??

St Paddy's Day Parade 2011

Sly has a group of Celtic musician friends that he plays fiddle with who invited him to walk with them in the St Paddy's Day parade. When they found out he rode a unicycle and had recently ridden it in a Mardi Gras parade, they invited him to ride with them instead. And so, of course, he did! He and everyone had a blast.

We had a great time also chatting with another parade participant who rode a giraffe unicycle with a Shriner's group. He could ride and juggle, jump rope, do lasso tricks--he was quite a talented character!
Following the parade, Sly and the family were asked to also join the Irish group at a local pub downtown for some after-parade partying. Sly was even invited up on stage for his stage debut playing his fiddle! What an awesome kid and a terrific day!
