Our last 3M ( Monday Middle school Madness) we went swimming at one of the girls houses. It was a lot of fun, and a fun last night to spend with the middle school kids.
This is one of my favorite pictures from the night.
OK, so next pictures. Brad, Bag, Andrew, Will, and I, climbed the Colorado National Monument. The Monument is a 500 foot tall monolith in the middle of canyons. Beautiful to look at, but scary once you get climbing! It is 5 different pitches of lead climbing, and most of the time there are pretty basic moves to climb up, but every once in a while, especially when your short like me, it gets a little harder. But here are some pictures!
This is the monument in all its glory!
Brad starting the lead climb of the last pitch.
Me almost to the top of the monument.
ok, to be honest I did not make it to the top, I was about 10 feet from it. I just could not reach the overhang move that pulled you to the top.
The high school girls had an idea for a girls night, 'Chocolate Wasted' it came from the movie Grown Ups. So Teri and I decided to put it into action. So here are two of the pictures we took from the night. We had everything from chocolate milk, oreos, cookie dough, strawberries and bananas to dip in chocolate, chocolate ice cream, chocolate bars, brownies, I mean the list goes on and on!
Our chocolate mustaches!
Lastly, we took all the kids boating on afternoon after church. It was soo much fun!! The tubing was great, and the kids loved it! Bag and I got to go as well, (no pictures from that unfortunately) but the ones I have from the kids are priceless.
of course there was plenty of throwing people in the lake!
All in all the last bits of my summer were great! I had so much fun with all the kids in Colorado. These pictures don't even do it justice. But hopefully you can get just a glance of what my summer looked like. I would love to tell you more about it, just ask!
