Prebble Family Tales

This week is turning out to be rather eventful. It started with an afternoon spent waiting to see the elephants unloaded from the Ringling Bros. train near the Nittany Mall. We managed to just barely make it into a photo in the CDT - you can clearly see our legs through the underbelly of an elephant.

The next day, Gareth went on a field trip to the Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center out at Stone Valley. I don’t have any good details on that since he was asleep when I got home from work, but all indications are that he had a great time.

And tomorrow we head to Philadelphia so Gare and I can geek out over the Star Wars exhibit at the Franklin Institute.

For those who don’t follow the bike blog, Gareth made an appearance at the Bellefonte Middle School Make-A-Wish fundraiser a couple weeks ago. The whole family went, actually. And we took his bike.

Brandy and I were introduced as former students (which we are) and my old math teacher managed to rip on the fact that I was nearly bald. I did my schtick, got us off the stage, and then we danced for a little bit before heading home.

Gareth has acclimated to his glasses rather well. He doesn’t fight them at all and continues to tell us that he is seeing everything better than before. I can’t wait to see his reaction the first time he wears them on a bike ride!

In two weeks, we’re all heading to Philadelphia to check out the Star Wars exhibit at the Franklin Institute. Should be a fun trip, at least for yours truly.
