Bouldering, moose and little Josh

We finally got to bouldering, yesterday. This was literally my first outdoor bouldering experience and I have only gym bouldered a few times. So this was thrilling and terrifying all at once! Josh chose an "easy" one and scaled it swiftly and gracefully...my attempts were a bit more humbling! I nearly made it to the top--my arms were there, but there was nothing to grip on that horizontal surface, so I lost my nerve when it came to heaving myself up (dang it!)...my fear of heights is posing a mental challenge! We are going back up today....I cannot leave vedauwoo without sending this one!









Last night, just as dusk was falling, an enormous moose--huge rack, glossy coat, all muscle--sauntered through our campsite! He was beautiful and looked a bit frighteningly strong! We were so awed we could not get the camera out in time...amazing!

Thanks to Josh's sweet mama, here are some adorable pix of little Josh in Wyoming....how time flies!









....smitten again!
