Time to Load Up the Van

The clock is ticking.  I looked at a calendar today...something I can't say I do that often.  I was a little overwhelmed when I realized that we will be leaving our house for almost 2 months in just over 2 days.  Yikes!  There's so much to be done.  Packing...cleaning...more packing...more cleaning, oh yeah, and taking care of Fitz!  All the chaos for the next few days will be worth it.  Once we close the van doors and start down the driveway in the dark on Saturday morning our schedule opens up and van life ensues.  It's probably some of my favorite time.  There's perfection in being on the road, passing your days outside under the trees with no distractions and with the family.  It really doesn't get much better than that.

Last year was Fitz's first season in Yosemite.  It was a short season due to the government shut-down and he was a little less mobile (just learning to sit up) so we're excited to really show him more of the place we love.  This year we'll have our bikes and Fitz's bike trailer along ("Bike rye, bike rye?!?"), he's on the move and likes to hike, he enjoys rocks and sticks, he gets really excited  when people do big bouldery moves ("Dyynoh!") or jump down from boulders ("WHOAAAA"!!), and another favorite thing is swinging in his harness ("Weeee" in a very high pitched voice).  I think the Valley could be one of his new favorite places.

I will be doing my best to keep updating the blog while we are in the Valley (internet isn't typically the best).  Hopefully we can share a little van tour, how we survived 20 hours of driving with an active toddler (if we make it), what Fitz gear we usually bring along for the crag/camping/etc, and of course some Dawn Wall updates!  So stay tuned.

Whoaa...
Uh Oh!

How do you give a baby a bath in a van?  In a tiny tub on the countertop, of course. 
"Got you spotted Daddy!"
Chillin' with the big guys.
Cragging at the Knobby Wall.  Sonnie Trotter goes for the dyno.
As captioned in the Patagonia Kids Catalog "Fitz finds out he definitely is not allergic to nuts."  Chompin' on a #5.

Crag Baby!

  4. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
