Hello. Police?

As with most Sunday evenings between the months of September and May I got to hang out with my favorite five year old and favorite seven year old. 

However, tonight took a turn for the, well, um, worst. 

Take a look. I'll let you draw your own conclusions...

Rock Climbing!

I have spent this Friday and last rock climbing, and is has been AMAZING. I am blessed to have a new partner in crime to spend these fantastic evenings with. 

Last week was an introduction to the the gym for my partner in crime, and a reintroduction for myself. It has been about three years since I've hit the wall, and the first time climbing on my new shoulder. 

I felt like a freaking kid in a candy shop and by the look on Janet's face she felt the same way. We took it nice and easy the first night. I showed great restraint by staying on 5.8s and below (let's not blow the shoulder out on the first time...).

Tonight that went out the window. We hit the walls pretty hard. Janet learned to belay which greatly opened my world. I even flashed a 5.9 tonight! 

My last climb of the night was in the pit, I was about two thirds of the way up and my arms are like "Um, no. You want me to do what? I don't think so." Even now, my arms are totally spent. It feels so good though. 

As wonderful as it is to be back on the wall it is even more wonderful that I have someone to share it with. 

Here are pics of the first night out, and yes, we each got the memo...

Ice cream before dinner!?!

If there was any doubt before this picture, I have securely cemented myself as a favorite adult in the eyes of my favorite five year old and my favorite seven year old. We had ice cream before dinner...
