Home Sweet Home

We ended up leaving Pente at the Camp Ahlers for a few days after we arrived home. They really enjoy her, and it seems cruel to take her away from the kids and the rest of the family who she stays with.

As a result, we ended up having the birds out of their room much more. Dave and Henri are really becoming a pair! He has Henri saying "Ma Ma" (or more like "Blah Blah") to get an almond. Henri learned this very quickly.

Another trick is he has Henri hopping onto the yoga ball where he sits until he flies a very short distance to me. It's quite cute!







Dave has been building some new bird perches that will make it easier for the birds to come out of the room and hang out. They should be finished tomorrow.

Since we've been back, we've not slowed down. We've been to Boulder Canyon for two days of climbing. This place is quite fun, and has the added adventure of Tyrolean Traverses over Boulder Creek - super cool!





Plus, today we did a 55 mile road bike trip. We started off hard doing the Lee Hill Road/Old Stage vertical challenge, continuing up to Jamestown. Then we went down to Hwy 36, and went north to Hygiene, CO. From there, we went through Niwot, CO, then back home. It was my longest ride yet. FINALLY I feel some fitness!
