Rock Climbing

New Year's Day my family came to visit.

We watched football games on New Year's Day,

then we just enjoyed each other's company the next couple of days.

On Saturday, we decided to go to these cool rocks about an hour and a half from our house,

apparently they were used in Star Trek.

We went to go repelling,

it was really fun!

As we were getting ready to go, Grandpa read Sweet Girl a story.

She loves stories.

 Sweet Girl, enjoyed the rocks,

but that may have been because she just got carried around...lol.

 My sweet husband and my Dad set up the repelling rope and such.

Dad was at the bottom to belay.

 Sweet husband went first to show us wimps that it was safe...lol.

 Then we all went

and realized, it was really fun and not scary 

(it helped that it wasn't a very big rock, 

they chose a smaller one since we didn't have gloves or helmets)

 Some of us went multiple times

 My Mama

 My sister

 My brother-in-law

 Sweet Girl and her aunt enjoyed the Baby Bjorn!

Sweet Girl loved to see out... expect when we were walking downhill,

that freaked her out. So I stayed by her side and talked to her as we walked.

 The whole gang at the entrance,

minus my Mama, she's taking the picture.

It was really fun to get out and see these cool rocks

and to see some of the cool stuff so close to us.

I think we often take for granted the neat things around us!

Or, at least, I do.
