Sandbox Is Open!
My main goal for the weekend was to get the sandbox open and new summer covers (lattice to keep cats out of it at night) made for it. Bonus was having all the kids come over and play. There were a few stretch goals, which I can’t remember if I achieved or not. Doesn’t really […]
Sheep & Wool 20…
I realize the kids like it, but having to push and shove your way year after year to see… Then wait in ridiculously long lines to buy and eat a half cooked hot dog… Maybe next year. – b
First Grass Cut
Pretty sure this is the latest we’ve ever cut the grass for the first time. It didn’t even completely need it. There were just a few spots that were considerably higher than the others. – b
Octopus
Couple of weekends ago Abigail decided she wanted octopus for lunch. Hmmmm. Sure. And just like that, with a little soy sauce, she ate it. Lauren wasn’t so sure. But she tried it. And now she’s sure she won’t again. At least she tried. – b

On our trip back from Julian last weekend the girls heard “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”. Now it’s all they want to listen to, and read about, and see pictures of. Beats Barney any day. – b

Julian

Nice Spring Day @ Birdsboro
Craig and I got out for the afternoon at Birdsboro. We weren’t looking to do anything crazy. Just wanted to get outside and climb in the nice weather. Turns out we found a handful of new routes and had a blast. The last one was particularly enjoyable considering it scared the crap out of Craig […]
2015 Climb Agenda
A month ago I emailed Scott & Craig with a tentative rock season schedule. Basically climb once a month (until June, then it’s too hot) in the Gunks with a focus on lead. Of course they were both immediately on board. We started the day with Scott leading all three pitches of Shockley’s Ceiling, then it […]
