Last night I climbed at Summit Climbing Gym in Grapevine. Summit is 40 minutes from my house, but it’s worth an occassional visit because it has the only hand crack in town (just right of middle in the pic above). After last night, I may be going to Summit more often…

Me leading Pitch 4 of Dark Shadows
Last weekend I went to Red Rocks with my friend Michael for a few days of climbing. We went late in the season, so our biggest challenge was staying out of the sun and 100 degree temps. Here’s what we did:

Abby has been talking about flower gardens a lot lately, so we decided to build a little garden in the back yard. Abby and Allie picked out all the flowers and a bunch of seeds. We also planted some basil, cilantro, and spinach. We’ll see how it goes…
