the descent

This is Erika's first trad lead climb

Shannon Falls

There were so many waterfalls everywhere - it is so beautiful!We rented mountain bikes one day - we are on cruising on the trail back to town when we had a very near bear encounter! He was sauntering along, didn't seem to care much for us.

crazy folk, deciding to jump off a bridge over a roaring river!
the big day! held at a beautiful spot overlooking the water

(don't they look happy!)

here we are with the lovely bride & groom --

we're looking forward to the next few years with you guys in Guam!

here I am with Lorelei and Julie

the brightly dressed gals who waltzed in barely making the wedding!

(ahhh but it was worth it, we climbed all morning!)

It is hard to believe it's been almost 2 years - we are so blessed! I love being married and it was wonderful to join in the celebration of our friends' marriage. We had a wonderful time in BC together. Below is our last farewell climb en route back to Seattle, we stopped by Squamish and did the first pitch of this wonder. (thanks Julie for the tip!)
