Rock Climbing

Spring has sprung here in Spokane (we think). At least it has stopped snowing and it's a little warmer outside. Coupled with daylight savings time (which gives us a good extra hour of light every day) and we are pretty happy. I feel like we've been stuck inside in the dark for months!

Last Saturday was sunny and gorgeous. Lainy said she wanted to go rock climbing. It took very little convincing to get her Dad on board, and Leah and I were happy to go too.

And so we spent a perfect afternoon sitting in the sunshine and rock climbing. Lainy has become quite the climber. (She might be better than me.)

Starting out

Sweet move

At the top!

Even Leah gave it a go for the first time! She did great, besides a minor meltdown when she realized how high she was. She said she liked swinging (aka repelling) the most.

I half jokingly asked Brad if I should do a climb, you know, to encourage baby boy to come early. He said he didn't want to be accountable if my water broke and we ended up rushing to the hospital. I figured it was probably sound advice. So I watched. And ate most our snacks.

But I am getting anxious to meet our little guy! I've been walking and eating lots of fresh pineapple and drinking raspberry leaf tea (disgusting). So far they've been ineffective. My due date is Thursday. We'll see if he makes it by then.
