T.O.P Comes To Visit & Rohan's Early X-Mas Present

Another busy week, followed by a busier weekend. It amazes me how we find the energy! Especially after a Tim Peet visit! My friend from college stopped by on his annual "hang out with friends and drink tour". It's getting harder since we are spreading out more and more across the country. His stops this time included Phoenix (to visit Greg & I) and Austin, TX (to visit Christian). Tuesday Sasha & I picked him up and grabbed some supper at Tilted Kilt, a wonderful family restaurant...:) Rohan seemed to really enjoy all the attention from the waitresses. Then Wednesday we met up with John & Jordan and golfed Papago Park. The scenery was gorgeous and the weather was perfect. It was a REALLY tight fairway, but we all golfed pretty good. I shot 43 on the front then imploded on the back. Tim was using his old set of irons and eventually came around. His drives were, as always, long and straight (unlike Tim..:P). Wednesday night we met up with Greg for some food and bags at the Temple Bar near our place, then back to Tilted Kilt for more beers and Greg's 12:30 knockout shots of Patron...thanks Greg...:) Needless to say, work was rough on Thursday. Tim left and headed to TX to punish his liver a little further into submission.
Friday we met up with the Schmit Clan and had dinner before Grandma Hansen left for WI. Rohan got some hugs & snugs in before he started getting fussy due to lack of naps.
Saturday I ran into work while Mara and Rohan hung out and studied for a bit at Starbucks. Then we met us with Sasha at Fox Sports Grill to watch her Alma Mater (Florida) play. I was running back and forth to the other room to catch Iowa updates, and saw the last bits of OT. Sad story...:( We headed back to our place and had crock pot chili waiting for us. It's been a little cooler (60°'s) so chili really hit the spot. Good thing too since we made a TON of it.
Sunday was pretty low key. We had a nice little picnic by a pond with the dogs & Rohan. Then we took them to the Dog Park to completely wear them out. We ended up rock climbing in the afternoon and ran in the evening. Even with all the go-go-go of this weekend we still managed to fit in about 16 miles of running this weekend, and about 23 for the week.
To even cram MORE stuff into this weekend, Friday we stopped by REI and saw they had climbing hold on clearance. We decided Rohan needed his own climbing wall for an early X-Mas present. We picked up $2.04 worth of scrap lumber and came up with an original design. All in all about $15, and Rohan freakin' loved it! I think we are going to have to expand it soon! We got a bunch of video of him & that wall.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the pics & vids from this weekend!

Someday, they'll do a biography on Rohan, the guy who climbed every mountain--and this footage will be shown to document how it all started. (Kind of like showing Tiger Woods playing golf when he was a toddler)

I seem to recall giving Mara the Dr. Seuss book about "The Places You Will Go" to read to Rohan, in utero. He must have taken it to heart!
Love the videos!
