An Even Happier Reunion!

Yesterday officially marked the first day of spring! Hooray! And if you live in Philly, you have that date marked on your calendar for an even more important reason: FREE RITA'S WATER ICE!! A very, very happy reunion after a long and snowy winter.


Lucy said she wanted the pink water ice, but then promptly stole Jonathan's mango water ice. It is the best after all.

After that happy reunion, Jonathan was reunited with another happy past time-- rock climbing! The Kellys were kind enough to let us tag along down in Valley Green again, and Jon topped the climb he's been itching to beat for awhile. I was videotaping so I didn't get a good picture, but it was incredibly steep and gnarly-looking, and it was only his 3rd time but he did it anyway! How are those forearms today, honey?

They brought a kids' harness along, but Lucy decided she'd rather stand around and look pretty than climb "the tall mountain," which kind of surprised me since she's always climbing up things she's not supposed to at my house.


But what doesn't surprise me is that Zachy would have taken his turn in a heartbeat. This kid has NO fear. He was diving head first down the ledge we were standing on and itching for Jon to let him go higher and higher. I have my work cut out for me!
