It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Packages arrived on Wednesday. Christmas packages from the Chicago family. Thanks Mike, Pam, Jared, Amanda and Shannon! This is stage one of the fun, as demonstrated by Roman and Zoe.

Fun to climb

Fun to examine.



Really fun to climb.

And fun to sit on. A new perch from which to examine the world.




At that's exactly what it seems like. Zoe got up there and just looked around. Huh. So this is what it's like up here.

Roman decided to tackle the mountain instead.

No Sherpa guides for Roman. He ascends...

Ta da!

Time to take a look around the summit.

He successfully descended as well. Good job!
