Took my family to Yosemite and met with Zander and his wife, Wendy.

The first day was hiking and horsing around.

I've got 5 and 8 right now, and itching for some family outings! Haven't hooked up with any climbing parents yet, but I'll be in touch.

I promise to wait until junior high before introducing them to "unplanned bivies"
