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!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
