Fun for mommy & daddy!

Ryan and I got to enjoy some baby-free time in Yreka, while Grandma and Grandpa watched Kate. We did a climb on Mt. Shasta, starting at 7000 ft. and climbing to the Red Banks at 12000 ft. We got up just after 1 a.m. so we could start climbing by 3 a.m. It sounds insane, but it's the best way to get on and off the mountain early and it's a great way to see an incredible sunrise! The climb up is steep and challenging, but the best part is sliding on the way down. We could slide from nearly the top of our climb, in chutes that others have left behind. We got up some pretty good speed, using our ice axes as a break, but, really, the faster the better! It was one of the most fun days Ryan and I have had together, and Kate thoroughly enjoyed her time with Grandma and Grandpa!
