This is my family blog, made to chronicle our life of gardening, biking, and child rearing (which fills in just about the bulk of what we do!).

Saturday Morning Boulder Session
You might notice that small dike that shoots down to the ground,.....that was her obsession.
Stell watched as a few Boy Scouts attempted to climb up the left side,...no technique at all. One managed to make it. A few kids,....on the chunkier side of the spectrum, continued to trundle off the side.
"Daddy,...I wanna' go upbear!" (up there)
How did I just know.......
With one quick move she steps from a small ledge onto the smaller dimples of the dike....Osh Kosh's gripping like 5 Tennies.
"Send it!"
She high steps onto the top ledge,...
"Stell,....wait!.....Daddy can't reach that high!..."
"Daaaaad!"
"Stell,..wait!'
"Daaaaaaaaaaad!"
"Stell!"
"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!"
I pull her down before she gets out of my reach.
She's ticked,....to say the least,..... and gives me a good swat below the belt before she stomps off.
I stand still for a second,......take a deep breath,.....breathe in,......exhale.......
I turn around to see those same Boy Scouts,....on the chunkier side of the spectrum,....gettin' a good chuckle.
I give them my best Clint Eastwood stare,....my tit in a wringer....
"You boys would be better off sellin' cookies."
The End.
