Stepping Out of the Boat

The Roth family came to visit us in Bloomington! This was the first time since the wedding that John's brother, Joe, had come to visit us, so we tried to show them a good time.

On Saturday morning, we went to the Bloomington Farmer's Market, one of our favorite things to do. It's just so interesting to watch the people there, to smell the fresh herbs and veggies. I could spend a fortune there.


After the Farmer's Market, we walked around downtown Bloomington and shopped around a bit. Lucky for us, in the outdoor paraphinalia store called J. L. Waters, it was FREE CLIMBING DAY! So, all of us who had never climbed rocks before got to have a try.


I was so proud of Mom Roth because she gave it a gallant try. I don't know many women her age who would try something like that, but she was brave enough. John, Joe, and Narissa scurried right up the wall with no trouble, and now they can proudly say that they have experienced indoor rock climbing.


We had a wonderful time. I think Joe and Narissa really enjoyed their time here - we certainly enjoyed having them!
