Bug Posted September 8, 2003 Author Share Posted September 8, 2003 Both of my daughters actually thanked me for taking them to the ropeup. Whoa. What was in that koolaid? They want to know when we are going to do it again. Right on guys! Dads rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leejams Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Those are some great TR and pic's. Had a great time and cool to meet a bunch of the other dad's. Tyler had a great time as well and was out like a light before we even hit US 2. Some highlights. Â Walking across the bridge in the semi dark. Kid jumps out at me from under the bridge. "I am a troll" hmmm I think a true cc.com JR. Â Kid's playing with light sticks, neika walks up (curly tail) Kid says, and attempts "lets put this light stick in her butt. Â Three year old wakes up from first night out in a tent. "I wanna go home" 10 minutes later I saw him running through the woods and saw very little of him the next 2 hours. Â Little guy slightly sketched out up on the rock. "dad I think my knot is coming untied". yeah, now who is sketched out" That was the quickest bug climb I ever did see. Â Great time by all. can't wait till next year. Â Oh yeah and wondering what all the mom's had to say. Mine took one look and said bathtime. YOU THINK??

chucK Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Excellent time Dads and kids!! Â My daughter now wants to go climb some more. I asked my son whether he had a good time and he said "No. I had a GREAT time!! ". Â It was kind of like a Pub Club only with little kids running around in the background, whacking each other with light sticks. Â Thanks again Hillweasle for getting us set up with a spot (Chatter Creek group site is NICE!! ) . Â Great meeting all you guys and your progeny.

bunglehead Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Great TR! I think we should have one of those down here in the Chosscades. Let me be the first to volunteer my services for an Oregon kid's ropeup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billygoat Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 He has two that I can tell. Bring them along next time Trasky. It'll be a blast! Â Hey Chris T, Smith sounds good. How about You and Muffy setting that one up as I have not been there. Â Timmay, I thought you had a couple Gremlins of your own? Â Bug, Lee, your wives were home?!

David_Parker Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 (edited) Â We learned a lot this weekend! Kids can be the best teachers! 1: Dad's aren't allowed to belay their own kids. 2: If they sleep in the car, they'll be up all night playing games. 3: Sugar is aid 4. Rock shoes don't need to be tight fitting 5. playing is more important than eating. 6. When you have a bunch of kids together, Dad's have more time to drink beer. 7. If kids hear you swear, they don't care or pretend not to hear you. Climbing is all about having FUN!!!

All the planning we did was Hillweasel reserved a place and time. The rest of us talked it up. Then we talked some more once we got there. How many kidded climbers are there down there?

Billygoat Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 David Parker Too true! Â Sounds like there is a quite a few kids down Smith way. Long drive for me too. I would make a four day weekend out of it. How about October weather wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think that by late October it is going to be way too COLD for little ones to have any fun camping. it drops well below freezing at night and with wind chill even in a down jacket I shiver all day even in the sun ( experience first or second weekend of november last year.) If you all want to get something going next spring when it warms back up, I will be totaly up for that. I will freeze my own ass off, but not my babys' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
