What a week.  First, Curt and I took 24 hours off and spent the day and night together in a nearby town called Sedona.  One of my college woman, Erica, came and stayed with the girls and did great!  The kids did just fine but I was more concerned about Erica.  She said she slept most of the day after we got back :). 
We did a climb that's called a multi-pitch climb where you climb one section and then re-do your rope and keep going vs. going back down to the ground. We did five sections and the picture of us together is us at the top.  It was really fun.  We spent the night at a B&B in Sedona and came back after breakfast the following morning.  It was such a wonderful, refreshing 24 hours!!!  We thought we should do it every weekend :).
Yes, Turi's braces are off and Bitsu's are on!  She isn't thrilled, to say the least.  But in just a short year and a half, she will have wonderful teeth like Turi!

Don't know if you can see how high up we are

Those small dots down there are trees :)

I built this all by myself!!

Braces!  Only a year and a half to go!
