Éva at Sweetwater Creek
Éva came for her first big park walk at Sweetwater Creek State Park this weekend. It was the happiest Allison and I had ever seen her… at least until Sunday, when we brought a new Dachshund home; Scarf.

Katie and her friends, including her boyfriend Warren, invited us to go rock climbing at an internationally recognized climbing hot spot: the Obed Wild and Scenic River. As first time outdoor climbers, we didn’t make it to the top of any of the sport climbing routes, but we did well enough, especially when our competitive nature spurred both of us to make the extra reach…
If I remember correctly, we tried a couple of the routes at Lilly Bluff, and Clear Creek.
