Last year I started learning how to rock climb with Johnpaul. It has been one of my favorite things ever. You see, I have wanted to learn to rock climb forever. Last year for my birthday Johnpaul bought me a rock climbing harness and we started climbing last spring. I am still learning, but I do have a lot of fun with it.

Last weekend was the perfect weekend to go. It was warm, but not too warm when we went up around 10:00. Johnpaul's friend from work, Christy, went with us. It was fun to have another person around to talk to and with one of us not on the rock or belaying, there was someone to take pictures. This was our first weekend out rock climbing since the weather warmed up. It was awesome. I was so tired after we got done that I slept really well that night.

Living in Boise makes it so awesome to go because it is only five minutes down the road from our house. If we were feeling really ambitious we could maybe bike there. I mean, I know we can bike there, but with all the gear it may be a bit of a stretch.
