Climbin' and Tree Bitin'

 I went to Guanella Pass! It was fun. I topped out 5 boulders for the first time in forever. Steph and Jeff climbed moderates with me all day and it was wonderful. I haven't been blogging because well..I'm pregnant. 23 weeks and it's a girl! Being pregnant makes climbing a little tricky, but still doable. I felt pretty much seasick and awful all summer so I didn't do much. That is out of the way, I am growing life, doing prenatal yoga, and increasing my mad top-roping skills. It's been an adventure. I took all of these photos with a wide angle lens, I figured they would be more interesting this way...

 Here is a wide angle distorted selfie photo of my 5 month bump under my Organic hoody. 

 All dog photos should always be taken with a wide angle lens

That's about all for now. I will try and keep blogging but I can't make promises. The fall season is upon us and conditions are getting wonderful!

Before the moon and the lightning, we went on a magical adventure safari to see the land around Sugarloaf Mountain. We ventured down to the river that feeds Boulder Falls in Dream Canyon, and spotted wildlife whilst riding atop the forerunner. The Lumineers drifted from the car windows as we enjoyed this beautiful Saturday evening.

Jumping Yuki

quite a nice twig

Kyle turned up an old fireplace

There was much conversation about the fireplace

everyone had to take a turn

safari crew at the top of dream canyon

then there was a camel...there is no explanation

We found the last bit o' sun of the day, and Steph discovered how sticky her shoes really are

We watched the sunset with Long's Peak in the background

and at the very same time, on the other side of sugarloaf, the SUPER MOON rose!

Here we sat in awe as the mooon filled the sky. we may have howled at it. 

that was our magical super moon safari day
