Hmmm Not Cold
Swim class ended early today. Most of the kids (and parents likely) in Lauren’s class got too cold and bailed, then the teacher got the time screwed up and ended everything 10 minutes early. We stayed anyway. Lauren was warm in her wetsuit and having fun. After climbing ice half the day yesterday, the pool […]
Family Ski Day
Took everyone skiing today (after swim classes). It went well. Very tired. Pretty sure we won’t be repeating the “after swim” family ski excursion. Abigail had a tendency to forget all she learned and just ski straight down. Without the designated focus of myself and “Red Light/Green Light”, she’d just take off. We’ll have to […]
Climb Local
Craig and I headed out early this morning to try some local (local if 2 hours away is local) ice. By 7am we were in the Dingmans Ferry area of the Delaware Water Gap. The plan was to scope out a couple of different areas, checking on conditions and hopefully climb something. The first was […]
Snow Day
I think it was 17° F, snowing, and a decent breeze. The girls loved it. I’ll try to get the rest of the pictures up soon. – b
Winter is Coming
Time to sharpen the crampons for some local adventures. A quick morning outing this weekend should be good. – b #ShouldOfLivedInColorado
Xs 2
Picked up Lauren’s leased skis. Now we have two teeny pairs of skis for two teeny skiers. Unfortunately they were out of boots in her size, so we had to get all they had which was 2 or 3 sizes too big. Once home we had Abigail try on the bigger boots, which she said […]
First Night Away
For Jen’s birthday we headed up to the Settler’s Inn for a night away. It was a decent place. I particularly enjoyed the remote and snowy drive up there. After much time at the bar and restaurant, we spent the rest of our evening catching up on Game of Thrones season 2 – yeah we’re […]
My Little Climbers
Went to Vertical Extreme last Friday night with the girls to do some climbing with some friends. We all went (Mom, Dad, Abigail, Lauren). Last time I tried going with just the girls, Lauren wasn’t very happy without Mom around. Not sure if it was Mom’s presence or what, but Lauren gets the highest monkey […]
Wrong Number
With the proliferation of texting, we now have wrong number text messages, and Jen gets her share of them. Perhaps because there’s no live human voice on the other end speaking to you synchronously, one gets a sense boldness when choosing to reply. A simple “Who are you?” takes care of it. And makes me […]
