We had a really good time up at Oak Glen this year! They had something new this year...the rock climbing wall! We had to sign a waiver and get an arm band to do it and they only had a certain time available so everyone who signed up went from 1pm until we were all worn out!
At first it was only going to be Carl, myself and Kaleigh, but as Cole watched Kaleigh, he decided to try too! He didn't get to the top but he did pretty good! I was frankly astonished that I was able to pull myself up without any help from the belayer (sorry about spelling, Steve!). Carl was huffing and puffing pretty good, but he did a harder one. Kaleigh made it to the top with a little help and she did do fine coming down too. All in all it was fun and I wouldn't mind doing that again! Now that I think of it, I think it was about 20 years ago that we went "real" rock climbing and repelling! Now THAT was fun! Thanks again, Steve for the experience all those years ago!
Man, I feel old right now!

Well, I found some pictures from one of the rock climbing trips, but you aren't in the pictures. Since I am, it makes me think you were on the other side of the camera. For some reason there are lots of pictures of Shoo..... If it's slow today I'll scan them and get them to you. You can help me identify some of the people.
Now I am going to have to see if I have some of those in my photo albums... Only mine are stuck in there and a little harder to scan since I don't want to rip the pages. Who knew this technology would be available to share those later this way? Oh well!
We'll see what I come up with...
While you're at it see if you have pics from Disneyland, winter '83. That was fun.
Oh I know she has those!
Surprise!
Oh - are you talking about the kiss-in-the-dark photo? In line for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride?
Yeah - I've got those...
I was thinking I'd just bring my photo albums down in August for everyone to enjoy (vs. posting pics of 'couples' that are married to other people now on the internet) :)
Hmm...seems I'd remember something like that. What's the statute of limitations? Also--we've got some logistics to start working on
