Random Fodder

I have been wanting to do a geocache called Acrophobia. In order to find and log this particular cache, you have to rappel down over a cliff next to a waterfall, and the geocache is set into the side of the cliff. The cache owner, BigWhiteTruck, is nice enough to set up all the ropes, train you, and help you rappel safely to the cache and then to the bottom of the cliff. I was excited about doing this, so I set up a group outing where we would meet BigWhiteTruck and do the cache. I asked Sebastian if he wanted to climb down a cliff and I really expected a response along the lines of "Very funny, Dad." Instead, he nodded his head and said "Sure." Two months later Sebastian, I, and 13 others went to the cache and rappelled down the cliff!

Take a look as Sebastian (a.k.a. RicochetInfinity) rappels down the cliff:

We are all so proud of him! After we did it, he really just wanted to go up and do it one more time!

Apologies for the four-month gap in posts. Obviously we have been doing plenty over the past 1/3 of a year, but I have just not been blogging.

This break is mostly due to some huge, life-changing events for me and the kids. More to come on that soon.

In addition, a lazy guy like me just ended up posting one-sentence FaceBook updates instead of writing anything about what is going on. Also keep an eye out for Sebastian's spring soccer video, coming soon!
