Mike Easter - 2012 Masters National Champion!

 

Is this a bike race our a gun show!?

 

Our cousin Mike Easter worked hard this season on top of everything he has going and pulled of the big win in Bend at Nationals.  Yep, Nationals Master Criterium Champion.  God gifted Mike with a big engine, skill, and determination.  He put it to use in Bend this year!  We are all proud of you Mike...

Way to go brother Sean!

My brother organized a family rafting trip and what a time it was. We spent several days camping river side on the American River near Coloma and simply had a blast. Our family has done this trip before in 1989. Jenn and I did it on our one year anniversary in 1998. The setting has really not changed much and the guides at ARR were simply incredible.

Looking forward to doing it again!

I will post a picture of the pack that made the adventure this year in the next post.

Another Mammoth Adventure for the Martin Clan. This year we asked the Haycraft family to join in the fun. It was a great time and fun indeed. Much fishing, hiking, mountainbiking, and just spending quality time with the kiddos.

Praise God. We really enjoyed his landscape on the east side this year!
