• Pickleball, Pedals & Hot Dog Nights

    June 1 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F

    Beth kicks off another pickleball morning with Andrea, Cody, Jake, Dylan, and Chris. (Still no pics. We’re really committed to not capturing the moment. 😝)

    Meanwhile, Don trades his paddle for pedals and tears up the Cedar Hills Park trails—because sometimes a guy just needs an adrenaline fix that doesn’t involve a whiffle ball.

    On the way back, Don swings by the courts to scoop up Beth… but wait! Detour alert! It’s pool time with The Stilwells. Bonus: a pit stop at 7 Brew for a free drink during their soft opening. (Nothing says “athletes in recovery” like caffeine and chlorine.)

    The day wraps up around a bonfire at The Cabin with Smokey the Bear’s stylish cousin Darolyn (seriously, she owns the ranger look) and Chef Doug, who never disappoints. Tonight’s menu? Fire-grilled hot dogs with all the fixin’s, a “mashed” cucumber salad, and Doug’s legendary 29-bean baked beans (fine, maybe 9—but who’s counting?). Everyone had seconds—even the girls!

    Post-feast, we head inside for some good ol’ fashioned game night. Fast Forward: girls win. Five Crowns: scores coming soon. Stay tuned.
