Tree & B-day

Several months ago when we had tornado warning weather, our street was hit with nasty winds. Our palo verde tree split at the core. We gave it some time to recover, but it was too hideous and would never be pleasing to the eye again. The kids were terribly sad, because it was a wonderful climbing tree. Here they are in the tree for the last time......hours later it was removed. Farewell beautiful tree.


Peter turned 9 last week and he wanted to go climbing at the rock gym. Mark took the boys last fall and they had a ball. If you've never tried it, it's a great activity for the kids. There are gyms in Scottsdale and Tempe. After belaying kids for 2 hours, my triceps were barking loud & clear! Ouch!
