11_22 to 29_2010 Work and play in Las Vegas, Part II

In between getting a lot of work done, we continued with hanging out with many of our friends. We had dinner at the Hart's house and had a great time. Their children are learning Mandarin Chinese and are really excellent at it. (Or so it appears to this non-Mandarin Chinese speaker).

We also spent some time with Mr. and Mrs. Cosmic. They recently moved to the Vegas area with several parrots. We've known them many years via the climbing community but it was the first time we had a chance to meet their fids (feathered kids). It was good seeing them all!

We also suffered a bit and climbed (or tried to) only three more days of the trip. Not many photos of this - the places where it was remotely warm was PACKED with climbers. Not the sort of warm-weather climbing fantasy I'd had. :( Boo.

Dave did get in some hikes, which while cold even to him, we fun. And we continued entertaining and being entertained by Kappy. It's pretty funny to watch a horse-dog play around in the living room like an agile crazed poodle!

Though we had a good time, and good work was accomplished, overall the climbing part of the trip was less than stellar. We were really happy to get back home!
