It\u2019s been a heck of a summer.  Somehow four months has whipped right past my eyes, a blur of house projects, play dates, teenage social life obligations, gymnastics, gymnastics and more gymnastics and way too much work.  Plans to head up to the cool pines of Flagstaff for a day of bouldering kept getting canceled, or postponed.  Tired and grumpy seemed to be tainting our usually psyched and happy household.  We needed to get out, just the four of us. Needed to wake up in the van, hike out to some good boulders and pull hard, head back to camp and make some simple food, climb into our sleeping bags all sweaty and dirty, wake up and do it again.  And if we really wanted to pamper ourselves, throw a big \u2018ol epic hike on top of all that.  Yes, this is exactly what this family needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s it. We\u2019re going. And we\u2019re leaving Friday. Or one of us will most definitely spontaneously combust.<\/p>\n\n\n
