Time Out

In April 2014 we added a new addition to our adventurous family and life. We had a healthy beautiful son whom we named Merek. Here are some snap shots of our life around home for those first two weeks and thereafter with activities the kiddos were involved in around town, then after that we were right back at it on the trails and on the rocks! Lucky for us our new little traveler LOVES the outdoors and is always most content when we are outside.

Ninilchik Bluffs

We went to Ninilchik Bluffs and ice climbed this winter, it was awesome! The pillars are only 30 minutes away from home! It was warm out, well warm to us LOL!

Ravine Lake

We went up to Ravine Lake, which is through Palmer and up the Glenn Highway. To get to the wall we missed the trail up so we scurried up a talus field while Natalie swore like a sailor because it was like walking in quicksand vertically and all the brush to hang on to were devils club and dead willows. But we made it and we climbed it. Some areas of rock were not so great but beneath it all there were some great sections of not rotten rock.The trail at the base of the wall was narrow and 1000 feet up above the lake where we started. The people in the boat below us were kinda freaking out when they saw us up there and we chuckled as we heard them talk about us up there and they pointed a lot LOL!
