Alternate realities…

We went on an adventure:

That’s the approximate path

Vortex is calling…

better follow the kid

Spot Leilani and Sonja

Great views from up here


Duck through…


Leilani tried to climb the chimney chute

(fortunately Andy went by on the side and pulled her up from above, it was too hard)

I think that’s the vortex

Well, that’s it folks

Oh I could go on…


More great views

Long way down


I called the picture hyperventilate. A lot of it was going on while we climbed the lower third of the pictured trail, but we all made it and Andy didn’t need to lift anyone down.

We went to the Tlaquepaque Shopping center’s Festival of Lights and joined the lighting of the 6000 luminaries.

Sadly starting around 6 there was loud and jazzy music from 2-3 different (and uncoordinated) sources, and I could not stay… it was cold and rainy so the rest of the family joined me…

Leilani and I collected pretty rocks along the trail, as soon as we got home she started washing them so that “The rocks will know I am a good human” (“Dass die Steine wissen dass ich ein guter Mensch bin”)

Oh and since I am quoting… Leilani made a very sarcastic remark (not quote worthy) and when we commented on the age-apropriateness of strong sarcassm she said it was Ok since it was Sir-Kass-m (and it took me 2 repeats to hear it :-)
