Last Saturday, March 15, Stephanie, Emily, Olivia, Roy and myself, went rock climbing. It was at fish creek which is on the back road between Canyon and Apache Lake, (if any of you remeber a trip to Mesa on that road you will remember it is really curvey) Fish creek hill is where most of the accidents are because the road is narrow and trailers with campers and boats have a hard time getting through. Believe it or not it is still a dirt road. We climbed 150 feet to a ledge and then had a picnic, of sausage, cheese and crackers. Roy cllimbed up another 100 feet. You could climb all the way to the top which had a small cave, but we ran out of time. Then we rapeled down the 150 ft. Olivia was the first kid over, she didn't have a trace of fear in her eyes. A real tropper, and her older sisters weren't about to be out done by her. Ty you would have loved it, we thought of you the whole time we were climbing. I am telling you spring break is lots better than Christmas break for climbing. So Ty just know your always invited. (As is anyone else who wants to try, we have a connection with a guy you has ropes, helmets, and shoes for every size of kids and adult)

I did just over a 100 foot drop in zion and thought I was so brave. I will see if we can get down there for a lesson. Come to zion and we will take you on a hike called mystery canyon where we rapelled down a water fall (about 100ft). Opps! I forgot my helmet!
