Happy Valentine's Day

This year for Valentine's Day, Zach made plans for us to go rock wall climbing at this awesome place in Brownsburg. We had never been before, so were excited to go. My mom watched the kids for us for the afternoon while we went and wore ourselves out!

After we got there and got our harnesses on, they taught Zach and I to be each other's spotters. We were on one rope. So, while Zach was climbing, I was his anchor and after he reached the top, I would lower him down. It was funny because since he weighs more than me, I had to be anchored to the ground by a strap to make sure when he fell I didn't fly up in the air. There were a couple instances where after Zach would climb a few times and we'd get ready to switch, I'd forget I was anchored to the ground and start trying to walk away- only to be snapped back!

Zach thought it'd be a good idea to wear gym shorts- not thinking about the way the harness would be strapped on! I had to get a picture of his junk in the front! He was not comfortable and it didn't take long before he switched back to his jeans!


Almost at the top...


Zach and I both made it up the angled wall. Well, I could only make it the first time. After that, my arms wouldn't get me over the corner! (it's higher than it looks!)

This is me taking the blue route up. It was tough!



whew...made it


After this, we went and picked the kids up and spent some time together. Later, I dropped the kids off at church for parent's night out. Zach made a romantic dinner for us and then we went to a movie. This video is from dinner- Reno and Cali were begging for our steak bones! (Edited to add: Well, I couldn't figure out how to get the video to load- but it was funny!)
