Climbing in Trees

A few months ago a friend of mine posted on facebook about this Outdoor Adventure Ropes Course in Flagstaff and I immediately knew that I wanted to check it out. I had done something similar many years ago in Germany and loved it, so last weekend Ashlie, Katie and I finally went. 

Vor ein paar Monaten berichtete ein Bekannter von mir auf Facebook ueber einen Hochseilgarten in Flagstaff und ich wusste sofort, dass ich dahin musste. Ich hatte sowas Ähnliches schon mal vor vielen Jahren in Deutschland gemacht und habe es geliebt und so sind Ashlie, Katie und ich am Wochenende dorthin gefahren.

They take you through a kids training course first, followed by four adult ropes courses, high up in the trees, that continually became harder as you went. 
Katie is deathly afraid of heights and I was so proud of her for doing this with us and she did awesome!

Zunaechst muss man ein Training auf dem Kinder Hochseilgarte mitmachen, gefolgt von vier Hochseilgärten fuer Erwachsene, hoch oben in den Bäumen, die immer schwieriger wurden.
Katie hat totale Höhenangst und ich war so stolz auf sie, dass sie mitgemacht hat und sie war super!

It was higher than it looks on the pictures!
Es war hoeher als es auf den Fotos aussieht!

































































There was a big church group in front of us and many of the girls from this group needed to be rescued, because they couldn’t go through the second obstacle, so a guide came up and lowered them down with ropes. Because of that group, there was some waiting between the stations involved and unfortunately we had to leave after only completing the first two courses, because we had to be back in Phoenix on time to give Zuma his pill. We got lucky though, when Katie explained our situation to the owner, he offered us some free admission tickets to come back another time! So nice!

Es war eine große Kirchengruppe vor uns und viele der Mädchen aus dieser Gruppe mussten "gerettet" werden, weil sie das zweite Hindernis nicht bewaeltigen konnten, von daher kam oefters mal ein Mitarbeiter hoch um sie mit Seilen runterzulassen.
Aufgrund dieser Gruppe mussten wir zwischen den einzelnen Stationen laenger warten und leider mussten wir bereits nach Abschluss der ersten zwei Hochseilgaerten gehen, weil wir zurueck nach Phoenix mussten, um Zuma seine Medikamente zu geben. Wir hatten allerdings Glück, Katie erklaerte dem Besitzer unsere Situation und er gab uns kostenlose Eintrittskarten um ein anderes Mal wiederkommen! So nett!

We all had a blast and even though it was scary at times, we’re planning to go back in a couple of weeks and spend the whole weekend in Flagstaff with Katie’s Family. I can’t wait!

Es hat uns allen viel Spass gemacht, auch wenn es manchmal schwierig wurde, und wir planen in ein paar Wochen wieder hinzufahren um das ganze Wochenende mit Katie's Familie in Flagstaff zu verbringen. Ich kann es kaum erwarten!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha. 

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...
