life among the rocks: the one where i climb

this post has been a very long time coming. i have little to no reason whatsoever for my long absence and lack of posting. although i do have a new puppy, and my days are spent picking up the stuffing from her toys and her piddle, which still happens on the carpet. any of you with tips on how to house train a puppy, i'm all ears.
anyway, i digress. we went to indian creek for richards birthday. with sunny days and very (very) cold nights. it wasn't the excitement that was kalebs birthday, but richard turned 35 and so we gave him the best thing a 35 year old, single male could want, a bb gun. that's right ladies, this hunk of man-meat is on the market, go ahead and give me a call, i would love nothing more then to set him up with a random internet stranger. that could be fun.
we climbed, they shot bb guns at beer cans and the tents, and little lilly was a trooper on her first camping trip. jenny and i spent the days with our faces turned toward the sun, and the evenings hiding from friendly fire within the traveling yurt. also it was like 12 degrees at night. people that is cold.

photographic glory: kaleb climbed an off-width, and taking pictures of such and endeavor is quite complicated. this picture however explains it fully.

(this is richard)

also i lead the coyne crack, that's 5.11+ yo. and my feats of strength and will are documented below with far too many pictures. i'm quite proud, i also like to place a piece every 4 to 6 inches. don't judge me, that shit's scary.
