After a pleasantly mild spring, the Tucson summer has officially arrived. We can’t complain, seeing as we made it all the way until JUNE before the thermometer hit the triple digits. I heard on the news this hasn’t happened since the 1980’s! What a treat.<\/p>\n

So now that the heat is here, we naturally either head to the pool or to the mountains. Here are some photos of a couple recent trips to Flagstaff. School is out for the summer now too and it’s nice to have our three day weekends back again. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIntense play: We’ve got a sushi food truck teetering off the edge of a massive cliff, requiring immediate helicopter evacuation! Wait a minute, is that a flying car coming to the rescue!??<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBrothers goofin’<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLook, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nCampsite in the pines<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSilas climbing at Priest Draw. A favorite boulder you’ve seen many times here at apAdventures.<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAbsorbed in sketch<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSilas climbing some more. This is a perfectly child-sized boulder that I used to jokingly refer to as the “kids boulder” every time we passed it…back before we had kids!<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nTopping out the “kids boulder”<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLittle brother’s turn<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nEvening fire<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nMe on Twister, v6<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nPaul on The Egyptian, v11<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSilas’ first ascent of his very own “L-Traverse”<\/em> which he has deemed “v7 at least!”<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd Ivan’s first ascent of his very own “Crusher Climb”<\/em> which he is still debating the rating. And in case you’re wondering, the answer is yes. They picked out, climbed, named and rated these lines all completely on their own. Paul and I just keep quiet and chuckle amongst ourselves when they’re not looking.<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nA climb that I’ve been meaning to get serious on and send for nearly 5 years now, Meateater, v7<\/em>. After two weekends on it, I can confidently say I’m FINALLY serious! Woo! Time to finish this thing already!<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd Paul on his latest obsession, Cosmic Tricycle, v10<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nMore Cosmic Tricycle<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAhhh summer: cold forest, warm fire, kids staying up late<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nA tag-team trail run on the Weatherford Trail on Mt. Humphreys. One of us runs… <\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\n…while the other hikes with the kids, and then we switch.<\/center><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd then we all picnic together in a postcard-picturesque spot such as this. We are loving’ up this summer for sure!<\/center><\/p>\n
