Lifeguard camp and such...

This week the kids started the Junior lifeguard camp. They seem to be doing well so far. It's only two days into it but they seem to like it a lot. About time they spent some time outdoors...

Ken went on his Everglades/ Florida trail walkabout again. Finished it this time - 33 miles or so in three days. Almost died of dehydration ( I do exaggerate a bit). But, he did lose about 10 lbs. Bastard! It took me two months to lose 3 lbs. And now he's climbing better too...

Kit's planning to go with Ken on a shorter hike next time, around fallish.

I bought these new pair of slinky climbing shoes - MadRocks Hottie - and don't you know it - they are too big! I hate it... I was supposed to be climbing a lot better in them - but they seem too lose for me. I can't stick to anything! And I can't exchange them - since I bought them at the REI in Atlanta...Darn it! So - I went online and ordered a pair of Katanas - LaSportiva. Looking forward to them (1 whole size smaller than my street shoes - so no chance of them being too big). Will report on those when they come in. I can't wait - I am convinced that the new shoes will solve all my climbing problems...

Laal got contact lenses - so no more four eyes. She is loving it so far. Oh, she also got her hair cut a bit - makes her look a bit older. :( my little girl is growing up....
