Vans first climbing harness

when he couldn't reach the top of the holds he would use the little holes that were used to bolt the holds to the wall. It must be nice to have tiny strong fingers.

He is very happy to put it over his shoulder and carry it himself to the gym

Thanksgiving 2009

Geneva and Van went to Utah for Thanksgiving. I would have had a super bachelor type of weekend (climbing and surfing) but it rained the whole time they were gone and I also pulled my rectus abdominus (stomach muscle) so I was bored and missed them alot. Geneva forgot to take any pictures but below are a few of family.

Priscilla and Sierra
Van and Andrew
