Life at the Shaw House

Thomas stayed home from school today because he was sick. While he was home he watched To the Limit about some guys rock climbing in Yosemite. Anyway, he found some great ideas to help him with rock climbing. One idea was to balance on a rope. So, the minute he was feeling better, he went out and tried to balance on a rope.



Proof Thomas eats snow.





Lizzy painting her nails. She actually does pretty well.

We went hiking to Mount Storm King again. Thomas wanted to see if he could make it pass the sign that says, "do not pass" and see if he could climb some rocks.




Totally Lizzy. The HAM.



Yeah, it is a long way down.



This is where Henry stopped. He didn't want to climb up the rope. I competely understand.





Here goes Thomas







I am not sure how far he went up the mountain (since I stayed behind with Lizzy). I know he didn't go all the way since he wants to go back there this Saturday. It was getting dark and everyone else was ready to go home.





I like this picture. I always like hiking up Mount Storm King. It is a good hike. Straight up about 2000 ft and straight down 2000 feet. Plus it is short enough that Lizzy can do it without any help. She was running at the end this time. I don't know where she gets her energy.
