Sunday


Yes, we are in Colorado this week!

Family Worship Time

Or as we like to call it "God's Garden" :-)

::A new adventure - Rock Climbing:: 
Justin did a very good job of making everything safe and explaining all of the rules of climbing... good communication between climber and belayer is critical.

John and Braxton doing a little climbing of their own

Hmm, should I let the monkey loose?

Yes, "what goes up must come down"! ;-)  The repelling back down was the scariest part.  You have to completely trust the belayer and let gravity work!  Justin said that Josiah and the girls were the best at repelling, but the boys were by far the fastest climbers.

 After climbing, we went to Justin & Laura's for dinner.

That is one big pizza!!!!
We had worked up quiet the appetites, so a 26" pizza was in order! ;-)
