More fun in Bishop during xmas break

We went to Bishop to do some climbing and to go to the Keough Hot Spring.  Wednesday (Dec, 28th) we went to the Hot spring for some swimming.  We then Van camped by Owens River Gorge.  Was it cold that night!!!  The next day, we then hiked into the Gorge using the middle fork..I was supprised that for the most part the kids came down by themselves.  The weather was great in the sun..the shade was a bit chilly.
I was out of shape for any hard climbing..only did two climbs and I was done!!  those were hard nines.

Daddy, I'm coming to get you!!

Lazy days in the pool

Peter went pretty high with help of Daddy.  Go my four year old!!

Peter Croft was there too.  Marek got to talk with him while the kids were enjoying scrambling at China Wall.

Christmas 2011

Had the family (Viet, Thi, Kaylee, Nathan, Danny) over for Christmas dinner. Marek made baked chicken and prime rib dinner with mash potatoes, I made the corn, stuffing, and gravy.


The Prime rib came out well done..left it too long in the oven :>(( Everything else was fine. After dinner we let the kids open presents.:
We got Kara and Kaylee both create your own princess book craft, Nathan got a big set of coloring, Peter got a take along crane, Uncle Danny got cookies and money, Viet a backscratcher, Thi various teas, Daddy a robe.

No Snow after Christmas

It's December and still no snow..what gives.  It was still so nice that we went up to Donner and daddy got to climb.  I was off work because this was the week that we did an IGT mandatory vacation :>)

Why so serious Dad, you're getting to climb

Peter Christmas Play from Child Garden

I went to Peter's christmas choir from the Child Garden at IGT's cafeteria.  Was quite the show in which Peter was back at screaming and not listening!!!  So I didn't bother to video any of the performance.

Look, I'm eating a carrot.
