Visiting Petey's home in Spokane

Petey followed her love of skiing to Ketchum Idaho where she later learned
the fine art of snowboarding

 

having raised a fine daughter she wound her way to the door of
Mountain Gear, a large company that supplies all kinds of outdoor
equipment in Spokane and through the internet throughout the
world. After working for a few years in the warehouse she switched to
a job working in the climbing department of the retail store

 

 

 

We had a few fun days climbing at a local climbing area, Minnehaha Park and
Q'emiln Park in Post Falls Idaho. Petey's balance and strength makes her a fine climber
with great potential to be my rope gun for my old age.

 

 

 

Here we are climbing with friends Adam and Kari

 

 

But alas the weather rained us out of more climbing, it was almost as wet as Bellingham!
So we did other outdoor things

 

 

Though thoroughly intimidated I hobbled along

 

 

 

but obviously no match for the master

 

 

We had a great time at Sontag Park near nine mile falls
Here is Maddie learning the fine points of healing and sitting
