Today Drew hiked Long's Peak with Hunter and Travis. Long's peak is the only 14er in Rocky Mountain National Park and one of the most well-known mountains in the Rockies. It is also one of the more difficult 14ers, but the boys smoked it. They started their hike at 2:00am, summitted in 6 1/2 hours, and made it back to the car within 12 hours. Thankfully, they also made it home safe and sound, and didn't even smell that bad.

I am on call this weekend which means I have to be available to answer phone calls from our patients. I don't have to go in to work but I do have to stay within cell phone range. So instead of climbing a mountain, I painted. About a week ago when I was jogging with Bogey through our neighborhood I spotted a desk on the side of the road. I had been wanting to get a desk for an empty corner in our living room, so it was quite convenient that the universe happened to provide a free one for me. It had a very bad paint job so today I planned a makeover. Those who know me know that I usually tend to like blah, neutral things. Those who know Drew know that he tends to hate blah, neutral things. But since most of our furniture is blah and neutral, Drew and I actually agreed (doesn't happen much in our household when it comes to furnishing/decorating) that the desk should be painted red.

And then there's Bogey. Dogs aren't allowed in the backcountry of Rocky Mountain National Park so he didn't get to hike with the boys. Instead, he stayed home and did this all day:
Drew's fun fact: A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.
Also, the raisin releases more bubbles from the champagne, so its good to do if its gone a bit flat. This also seemed to work for us (at breakfast) last week with grapes. It may have been because they were "champagne grapes" though.
