New Record@Leavenworth

Gatorade Bowling Balls V4**
 2nd trip to Leavenworth was another hot weekend.  Despite the heat, Shiro had to wear his T-shirt or we would have to name him Blacky again...
Yusuke was crushing on this trip as usual and even finished a V9 in 3 tries which gave me motivation to get a 3 star V2, two V3s and my first V4 at Leavenworth!!

First Climb@Leavenworth, WA

Warming up on THE HUECO ROUTE V1***
We managed to go on our first outdoor bouldering trip to Leavenworth, WA on the weekend of Aug.16th and Aug.30th.

On our first trip, I only tried easy stuff because it was soooo long before we climbed outside, but at least I was glad to finish a V3.

Both trips we camped at a campsite nearby the center of Leavenworth; just beside the highway, convenient but noisy...  Good to have a clean shower though!
I loved the cute signs that were themed on a Bavarian Village, and of course we enjoyed the food and beer!

Mcdonalds' of course!

Shiro became Kuro-chan(meaning black) now... looks like the dirt was black, maybe because of the past fire?
Tried to wash Shiro, but this was the most he could get in!!

Moving in to Our New House

 Since we did not have time to search for a house before moving to Vancouver Washington, we stayed in a hotel and I was the one in charge of finding our house to buy!  Yes!  We are buying a house for the first time!
 We thought it might take more than a month to even find a house, but we were fortunate to come up against an affordable and upgraded cozy house.  However, there were some parts that we decided to work on, like painting, kitchen backsplash and removing the overgrown wisteria.

Everything was first time for us but thanks to the "how to" youtube videos and websites, we managed to finish our mission!
