Past weekend was big Faranda outdoors weekend

Well actually an extended weekend, counting Friday.

Early Friday morning Mom, Dad, and Tim went on a 40 minute bike ride, out onto Croton point and then down along the waterfront to Senasqua Park.

Then Friday evening Brigid finally got going with her kayak, which she’d gotten way back in December for her birthday. She went out with Rose Raffa and Hallie Flanagan-Wolfe (of push-ups on Sugarloaf mountain  fame  Tom Faranda’s Folly: Friday afternoon contest: Name this person and win $1 million! ). Tim was there to observe and help out.

 

Here’s Hallie

Some instructions for Brigid, and then out of the Croton River, under the trestle, and into the Hudson. They were in the little Bay area, south of Croton Point.

The girls were out for about ninety minutes. They got back to the launch point at the end of the railroad station parking lot in the dark, about 9:20.

Then on to Saturday – a Tim baseball game. Tim is on one of the two Croton summer travel teams.

Patrolling the outfield. He’s actually a pretty good outfielder – zero errors all year, and made some difficult catches.

We had big plans for Sunday – or rather I did, since I put a Sunday jaunt together for the four of us. But the weather intervened and messed us up a bit, as we went up to the intersection of Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut. Will do a separate post on the Sunday trip.
