So this week's excuse for bailing on blog posts is that I've been busy organizing my son's birthday party (coming up this weekend: 18 toddlers bouncing around a gymnastics gym full of trampolines. The energy in the room should be enough to power a small country or two, eek!). At not-quite-3 years old, he's an old hand at the climbing gym, the skating rink, the swimming pool, and our local trails. Sadly he's never been much of a backpack baby - too energetic to sit still for more than a few minutes! - so unlike some of our friends with young kids, we haven't been able to do serious hikes with him yet. But soon enough, I expect he'll be outhiking me up peaks and beating me down mogul slopes. (I'm also hoping he'll share his parents' taste for science fiction & fantasy! We're off to a good start there, with Jane Yolen picture books and the like...)
So anyway, no official adventure post this week. Instead, here's a few pics to prove that adventures don't have to stop once you have a kid:

Adventures definitely don't have to stop. And shouldn't.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try some "real" wall climbing one of these days.
More reason for you to come to Colorado! My husband & I would gladly take you climbing, either in gym or on real rock. :)
