Day Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight

The Coeur d'Alene Climbers

About 30 minutes from our house, one of the nations' cutest towns rests neatly against a gorgeous spring backdrop. Coeur d'Alene has always been a favorite place to spend an afternoon, and since we had one on our hands, we made the trip. Smiles like this one fill the town. Especially at the park. But it's not just any park. More accurately described: a child's dream jungle gym. At least that's how the Mays kids thought of it when we were young. And I think Hunter would agree. Gosh, he's just so darn handsome. And seriously, so much fun.

Every time I open my computer, Hunter screams, "Dum? Aaaaa-DUM?" He's gotten so used to communicating with us over Skype that he's now associating the computer with the Conleys! When he saw me for the first time at the airport, he had to have been confused. So cute. Love him.

Ahhh...sisters. I mean...Mom? Yeah, that's right. She's my mom. 

BEAUTIFUL.

Shelby rock climbs. She loves it. And I couldn't be more excited that she's found something so uniquely hers. Today, she wanted to show me what she's been doing for the past few months, and so, I went...along with the rest of the family! Wow. She's a stud. I'm so impressed with her perseverance and determination while she's climbing the difficult courses. I can't say I've ever met a diabetic with two metal rods in her back who could do it any better! Shelby is such a special girl, and one whose had to confront many obstacles in her 20 years. I admire her strength more than she'll ever realize...It takes a strong woman to endure the things she has, and for that, I'm so very proud to call her my sister.  

Well, I think Shelby might have exposed me to a new passion. For that, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, it's a blast. An incredible workout. On the other hand, blisters are forming. And my forearms hurt.

Family night at Wild Walls!!

I don't think there's anything we all agree on. Maybe Frooties. Other than that, the Mays girls always find a way to disagree about something. Not climbing!!! The four of us had such a wonderful time tonight, and if I lived in Spokane, this would definitely be, at least, a bi-weekly outing. Instead, Adam made me move the entire span of the US for some job he accepted. Gosh, Honey. Thanks a lot ;) 

I LOVE MY SISSYS!

...and...

I LOVE YOU ADAM! 

I hope Hickory is treating you well!
