Hanging out at the bouldering wall

Usually, the Barkers are climbing snobs and eschew the climbing gym as LAME, but Mom had a bit of a freakout when she looked at the fall calendar and woefully realized how few weekends were dedicated to climbing (Dad probably looked at the same calendar and woefully realized how few weekends were dedicated to cross races).  So...Hazel and Mom bit the proverbial bullet and went to the climbing gym which has a 30% discount during the day and allows well-behaved babies in car seats.

Hazel gave Mom a good 30 minutes of bouldering before she started to scream, but that was all Mom's muscles could take anyhow.

 After the climbing session, Mom and Hazel headed to the OTHER gym so Mom could go to Masters swim practice.  Hazel hung out in childcare while Mom cursed the swim coach who had listed over 1000 yards of PULLING in the workout.  Her arms are kind of dead now.

Hazel was pretty pooped too.  All this climbing and playing in childcare really wears a baby out.
