Rifle weekend

We had a great weekend celebrating Father's Day. We went to Rifle for some camping and climbing. First of all, Sawyer was a pretty great travel companion: a sleeper (our favorite kind!)
We went with Sacha, Diane, and Amato. On Saturday Diane and I got a half day climbing in while the guys watched the boys and then we had the boys in the afternoon while Dan and Sacha climbed. We still have some kinks to work out with this system but we are pretty hopeful to use a system like this so that we can all climb.

Sawyer absolutely loved, loved, loved camping. He played hard- stayed muddy- and slept well- (even through an epic thunderstorm that rivaled any I have ever witnessed). Whenever we had to put Sawyer in the tent (naps, bedtime, rain deluge) he begged to go back outside.

We also took the time to visit the Rifle fish hatchery. No pics here, but it was an amazing visit where we learned about the 3 million (!) fish that this hatchery raises from eggs to be used to stock Colorado rivers, streams, and lakes. We also don't have any climbing pictures but here are some snaps of our visit to Rifle Falls at the end of the trip.

Happy Father's Day to one and all!
