Daddy and Linnaea take the bike-swapped Adams Trail-a-bike for a test drive


May 1, 2010: Linnaea rides her pedal bike unassisted for the first time. No training wheels ever. Hooray for the balance bike. She went for hours, literally, here on the College Green tennis court.


On a snowy Mother's Day, Linnaea learns to count. Marbles nest very nicely on Duplo Legos.


At the beach on the Mad River.


Ready to enjoy a chocolate fountain strawberry and pretzel snack at Nutty Steph's. Tourists and visitors welcome!

Linnaea rides in the Sherpani for the boring flat part of the hike up Burnt Rock Mountain...


...and scrambles all of the tricky bits above.



Almost at the top.


A brief and not entirely satisfying nap in the middle of the trail. Note backpack as bivy sack.



A project from school: the teacher traced around her, and she scissored and markered.
