Sustainable parenting

RIIt is difficult to explain what it is to be a father. It is probable easier to describe which elements could be used to represent a good father, and what things a good father remember to do.

A good father

A good father should:

- enjoy life with children
- listen to his children with all his attention
- be positive
- give them freedom with responsability
- be present and visible. Look at them in her eyes and feel the love they confess to you and the love you confere to them
- cuddle them many times a day and kiss them a lot
- say I love you, a lot
- love your partner infinetely all the time
- teach them what you know
- give them examples by living as a good person
- respect them
- understand them provide logic reasons
- make them deserve gift and presents
- teach them how to do things and create natural value, for example by planting a tree or by selling lemonade
- teach them to draw and do things with their hands
- teach them to throw things, specially balls
- teach them to defend themselves properly
- tell them silly funny jokes, make them laugh and laugh with them, a lot
- cook a meal with them and make them cook with you
- walk with them, leave the car and take a quiet stroll in a park in the way to school. Dont take the shortcut
- play with them, everyday
- learn from them, you were like them not so long ago
- recognise you are wrong when you are
- dedicate quality one on one time with each of your children, listen to them
- tell them simple stories, invented by yourselve with clear learnings
- read them stories, reading them slowly and teathrically
- get out to nature with them
- tell them basic scientific facts they will love like why the sky is blue, why the leaves are green, why the sun is yellow and why the moon appears at night, why the river flows down, how the clouds form and how the water from the clouds return to the ocean
- teach them to ride the bicycle, to jump far and up by raising their hands, show them how to dive with the hands and head first
- show them while un nature that there is a balance in life, and that balance is key in life

Movember

Movember campaign

This year as a team we raised more than $33.000 dollars. We raise the awareness of human health through a work lunch, a golf game, a poker game and through ourselves and the awareness of the mo. Thanks all for the support during this month. In special thanks to my beloved family.

Cape to cape stage 4. Colonial brewery to Duns

The last stage looks long and flat with more than 70ks of a mix of single tracks and fire roads. But is fun with the middle earth single track and the finish at the Duns MTB circuit.
Key here is to find a group that goes at your pace so you use it for drag against the wind. 

Now you might ask who is the guy in the second pic. Thta is Henry. Henry works in Zzzzambia as he likes to say. He is Kevins father. I really enjoyed meeting him and his partner Fidji. They are a so cool couple that I am going to really miss. 

Now the guys in the pic anove are the South african latino team. Kevin, Char, and Richard. They also kitesurf by the way. 

Cape to cape stage 3. Xanadu winery to Colonial brewery through the Pines MTB circuit

This stage of the c2c is from another world. First you cruise through Margaret River before going to a section of nice single tracks that warm you up for the mitical pines circuit. The pines is like Dysney for MTBkers. The pines is specially extended for the occassion and there are multiple places were supporters can cheer the competitors. Then a fire road take you East for the Bussel Hwy and into a forest close to a river. Here a couple of muddy section scare roadies so take care of avoid being close to road bikers since they will try to carry their beautiful bikes by arm. A final descent and climb leads you to the super nice Colonial brewery. Make sure you drink beer here and enjoy the pizzas.

Cape to cape MTB race stage 2. Hamelin bay to Xanadu winery

This stage stage in hamelin bay with a climb in paved roads that brings you straight into the Leewin NP. Here the single tracks starts gaining altitude at a soft pace. A couple of nice decends flows in between the magnificent forest. The scenary is unbelivable but you are riding so fast that is no time for contemplation. When you gain the top of the hill section that goes paralell from the coast, you find the quarry, a small step descend with a hudge bend that you need to pass at full speed. Dont let any roady be before you as they might be scared of the terrain. After the NP the race goes into Contos beach and road. A fairly long climb brings you back to the plains where you will traverse across wineries until you reach Leewin winery. Take a rest and enjoy good food here and the company of the red bull girls.

Cape to cape MTB race stage 1. From Cape Leewin to Hameling bay

Stage one is a killer. The race starts in stunning cape Leewin and goes directly into a gravel road climb. The first downhill is crazy, packed, fast and dusty. Then the second climb of Heartbroke hill is ...heart broking. It is difficult to keep the pace with the pack and some road riders unable to go uphill. The second downhill is fast and grassy. It has fantastic views to the ocean. Another sandy climb take you to a big downhill with some airy jumps before landing in dune terrain and then the beach. The beach stretch for 2k and kill you and your bike with the salt water. After the beach the trails climb to a nice farm with some hilly terrain. There is one more climb before the final descent into Hamelin bay caravan park.
Wash your bike here and lube it well for the next stage.

El arbol de Melville beach

Nos encanta este arbol en Applecross. Cada vez que pasamos nos subimos y le sacamos fotos. Cuando estas arriba puedes ver el rio y el parque desde otra altura. A las niñas les fascina. Este manana fuimos a correr temprano. Hicimos ejercicio en las maquinas al lado de la parrilla. Que lugar!

Two reasons to take a sick leave while not really sick

Dos razones para tomarse un sick leave estando sano:
1. Recuperar tiempo libre perdido cuando uno se enferma justo el fin de semana.
2. Retomar la conversacion y comunicacion con tu partner mientras los niños estan en el coleguio

Kings park festival

Escuchamos a tres bandas indy rock muy buenas. Nathan Gaunt y Stillwater giants. Las flores paseaban bailando y jugando con la gente. Increible.
