Olympic Greatness Awaits?

Hello, All! It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten to take over the post. Happy days for your friend Taco! I’ve been very busy cooking and eating many many hot, spicy, and fantastic tacos. My friend Fajita and I have also been watching the Paralympic Winter Games! Whoa- those athletes are talented! And, as someone with pretty short arms, I can really appreciate what it must take. Fajita was trying to balance on one skate like those incredible hockey players…

Snowboarding seemed a little easier for them to master.

And we both very much wanted to train for the bobsled, but this is the closest piece of equipment we could find. We don’t think it will help much, cute as it is.

Then we overheard some youngsters talking about going to the climbing gym. Now, that’s an idea we can all get behind! (Or under? On top of? Into?)

There’s nothing like hanging out with a good friend on a rainy or snowy day.

Some friends (like S’mores) were a little more ambitious.

He worked super hard and got all the way to the top of the wall. Wow!

Yeti also went with us. She was extremely determined and focused.

She worked on a lot of skills and mastered some tough moves. I asked her why she was so focused on climbing. She mentioned something about scaling buildings, impossible access points, and a tower to space. And then she changed the subject when I started to ask a lot more questions. Hmmm.

At one point, she seemed to be getting a little too comfortable. I had to explain to her that taking turns is important and it wasn’t okay to hog the whole route. She wasn’t too impressed with me.

That worked out poorly for everyone. Whoops!

Until next time…
