Don't you wish you were a kid?

Rainier via Emmons Glacier and camp Shurman

Really, what does one say? Even though it was physically tiring, I think it was mentally more challenging. The last thing I wanted to hear was that someone died on our route the day before in perfect weather.........

Mt. Nebo Summit (11,928ft, higher than Timp)

Everest Ridge Route to Timp (West Side)

Attempted with a cold and dry heaves......

Kids building Jumps

Leisel & Ella Skiing

Last Ones on the Back Mountain

Creative with Cauliflower

Vegetable Frittatas

Steam a head of cauliflower with carrots (half and half). When soft, mash with a potato masher and add sauteed onions, salt (I like Kosher), uncooked eggs to coat (3-5 or so), crushed matzo crackers (they are like unsalted saltines), a little pepper, and wheat germ for the feel good factor.

Pan fry in olive oil in small pancake size and serve with applesauce. My kids love these and the sweeter the carrot you can find the better.
