Red Rocks 2010

As some of you know, I love rock climbing and I try to go to Red Rocks, NV every year in the spring to kick off climbing season. This year was an amazing trip yet different than the rest. First off, I had Ayla with so taking pictures and climbing came in second to chasing her but luckily I had great friends to help...namely Liesl who is also a mom and photographer friend and her uncle August. We are so grateful for all of our friends who came and climbed and made it such a great trip! So onto the pics!

Getting ready...
