What Is a new father to do for fun?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

“Alright dads, you’re prepared to embark on a Daddy Day. You have your baby in the backpack, or perhaps a toddler in hand, maybe yours is a teen straggling a safe distance behind. Regardless of your years as a dad, your mind is most likely fixated on the question: now what?”

This is snippet of an article that I found on www.traversecitykids.com. I was recently blessed with a wonderful baby girl and was wondering what things I could do with Her. I found this page to be verry helpful. If you want great ideas  of how to have fun as a dad with kids then visit Traverse City Kids website and read the article on daddy daze.

Iceman Cometh Challenge

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

The Iceman Cometh Challenge is a 27 mile point-to-point mountain bike race from Kalkaska to Traverse City, Michigan. Held traditionally on the first Saturday of November (except for years when the first Saturday of November is the 1st), the 20th annual Iceman will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2009. Just under $25,000 in cash prizes and $10,000 in merchandise prizes will be awarded

Every November, over 2,000 competitors and 4,000 spectators from all over the U.S. and Canada gather in this picturesque northern Michigan resort area (better known for its summer beaches and golf courses) to participate in one of the strangest and most grueling cold-weather events in off-road bicycle racing.

Now in its 20th year, the 2009 Iceman Cometh will be held Nov. 7 – and organizers had no trouble filling all 2,000 available slots by mid-June.
