Jim spent the month of September building a climbing wall in the backyard. Its 45 degrees and very challenging. The area is equipped with some other training gear so the family can train at home now.

Sydney and KC at EFY Plymouth, New Hamshire

Sydney and I traveled to Boston so she could go to EFY with her cousin KC.  I LOVE Boston.   The suburbs are so quiet and quaint.  I didn't like the colonial style homes but loved the little cafes, graveyards, churches, historical sites and ponds.
