One of the biggest changes for us this month was that my sister, Julianna, came to live with us while she looks for work and starts school. She and Dad came to visit after a week long drive across the country including stops to a trip into the mountains with one of my dad's brothers and climbing lessons from another. One of the benefits of having family spread all over is that there is someone to visit almost anywhere you go. We celebrated their arrival with a little outing to Wheeler Farm and a VERY short hike (that we thought would be longer) to Hidden Falls .
