“be my singing lesson / be my song / when i tell you i’m falling / you tell me i’m strong”

So, woofs, it was a week off for, in part, a camping vacation, the likes of which it had been too long since we'd taken. Highlights* include Eaglet hiking a mile and a half three separate times -- getting to climb a volcano and peer into the crater, tromp through jagged lava rocks, and climb ladders to ruined villages turn out to be good motivators for them** -- and a couple episodes of exploring Meow Wolf's House of Eternal Return installation.

It was also a week of, in part, dealing with family stuff. I could have done without the visit to the ER, but at least my mother now has a pacemaker installed implanted, hopefully preventing further visits (at least for heart reasons).

And now it's back to work. Again.


* According to me. Eaglet insists the jumping pillow at the Flagstaff KOA is just as highlighty.

** Though on that last hike, they did poop out after that 1.5mi-plus-ladders and had to be piggibacked out.
