Bike it or Hike it

Tom and I had a bit of a biking weekend. I had my first stint of night-biking on friday night... fell off on a steep incline because i couldn't see the contours clearly. It was super fun, but we'll definitely need better lights to hit up any good trails.
We also celebrated our anniversary (1 year!) a day early by taking Kali biking/geocaching north of Napanee (and following it up with a fancy dinner at Aquaterra). Tom got a flat jumping some rocks, but it turned out to be an excellent chance for me to practice changing a bike tire. Here's Tom making an impromptu patch out of the old tube for the big hole left in the tire.

Here's me working on inflating the tire... the pump was a little difficult to get going.
Tom decided it would be funny to make Kali wear my helmet... joked how good the fit was because we both have little heads. She didn't really like it, but she sure is cute.
This was more her style... playing look-out and trying to figure out what was taking us so long because she was getting bored.
As we were driving away from the trails we encountered this little guy... of course couldn't get a face shot. At least it was after Kali was back in the car!

John & Fran's Wedding

John and Fran got married this weekend (Oct. 6). The ceremony was at a beautiful little church in Bedford Mills (just outside Kingston), and the reception at the Little Cataraqui Conservation Area. This first shot is from the top of the tower at the visitor's centre (reception site).John and Fran were getting a little tired of the paparazzi at this point, but I managed to get one shot that was still a bit candid rather than forced.
From left to right: Wanda, Fran, Alicia, and myself. This is the core geo-yoga group (I've been getting many requests to start it up again... and probably will soon) and Grey's Anatomy/popcorn/tea time group.
Wanda did an amazing job with the wedding cakes! It was white cake with strawberry cream filling and cream cheese icing - deliciousness!
To top off the night, Fran announced she was pregnant and is expecting their first baby in April. Congratulations all around to both John & Fran - you have an amazing life together ahead of you.
