About Eric

Like Justine, Eric got a newly remodeled room this year. He got to pick out the colors and the new furniture. Great loft!.

• Eric got to try Spelunking this year. He and his dad tried it out with two good friends. It was a little spooky.

• He broke his arm while learning the hurdles last Spring in Track.
   
• It healed very quickly and now is as good as new.

• His big project is his car. Last Spring he bought an old MG Midget (1976) from a local salvage yard.
• He and his dad got the engine running during the summer (so Eric got to drive it around the block a few times) but then they sold the engine on Craigslist.
• They are now converting the car to electric-drive.
• If all goes well  it may be ready for Eric to drive when he gets his license this coming Spring.

• Eric has been running lots. Track in the Spring, cross-country in the Fall, and some weekend runs with his mom or dad (and the dog) as well.

• He and his dad rented motorcycles for a few days and rode on dirt trails while camping in northern Utah.
• Eric learned the clutch quickly and did very well on the trails. No injuries!

• Eric got some waterskiing practice while visiting his grandparents in South Carolina. First time on a slalom.

• During the summer he got his first job at a local bike store.
• With their help, he built his own bike during his free time. It's very pretty, and he uses it to bike to school often.

• Eric sitting on a huge flywheel while visiting Bodie, a gold rush town.
