Caldwell Family Blog: February 2015
http://caldwellfamilyof4.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. We went to my mom's house again this past weekend to celebrate Chinese New Year. It is the year of the ram/sheep or goat. I'm not sure what it is exactly. All I know is that it is Emily's year. She was born almost 12 years ago as the Chinese Zodiac repeats itself every 12 years. This year, she will graduate out of Primary). Plus we got to bring home enough dumplings not to have to cook for the next several days! Wednesday, February 18, 2015. In light of us losing our climbing g...

Caldwell Family Blog: Suicide Rock
http://caldwellfamilyof4.blogspot.com/2015/07/suicide-rock.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. We went to Idyllwild again but this time to climb on Suicide Rock. It was quite crowded. There was a big group of mountain rescue people practicing up on one of the routes. There was also a guide next to us with a group of people learning to climb next to us. It is pretty difficult taking pictures in the shadows when the sun is so bright out. The contrast is too great and since Caitlyn is so tiny, I could not quite get any pictures of her in between the flake. Caitlyn 10, Emily 12.

Caldwell Family Blog: December 2014
http://caldwellfamilyof4.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. The day after Christmas, we decided to work off some of the excess we had been gorging ourselves on and get ready for our upcoming trip. We took the kids to Hanger 18 to do some gym climbing. We can only take the kids once a month with our guest passes without paying an exorbitant amount, so we make it worth our while. We were there for four hours. Basically until fatigue and hunger gets the better of us. Monday, December 29, 2014. We eventually got around to more presents.

Caldwell Family Blog: January 2015
http://caldwellfamilyof4.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2015. January at a Glance. The kids got back into the swing of school. Caitlyn had her Science Fair at school shortly after we returned. She managed to get 2nd place. She will be moving on to the next level (although, I thought you had to place first at your school in order to do so). We had to ease into returning to daily life, so we took off for Joshua Tree for a day of climbing. We. They taught them the Girl Scout Promise and Law. They sang some songs and they worked on deco...

Caldwell Family Blog: April 2015
http://caldwellfamilyof4.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Caitlyn turned 10 yesterday. She is finally in the double digits. She did end up growing 2 inches this year but she is still about a year behind Emily at the same age so she is definitely going to be a bit more petite than Emily. We had a special snack at the park with her friends. Her best friend had to leave shortly after but the rest of the small group got to play together for a while before we headed home. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. We also celebrated Caitlyn's birthday. S...

Caldwell Family Blog: March 2015

Thursday, March 19, 2015. It's probably not a major problem, but it's not a good situation nonetheless. Apparently, the appointment to the temple is never the same and the leader that gave me the schedule wasn't even going so apparently, she must have just gave me a run down of what "typically" happens but didn't advise me of it so we expected that was their schedule and were totally caught off guard when they didn't follow what they told us. We were none to pleased to say the least. Caitlyn did really g...

Caldwell Family Blog: Mammoth Mtn.
http://caldwellfamilyof4.blogspot.com/2015/07/mammoth-mtn.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. We finally got to our friends' campsite in the early evening but they were running late and had not yet arrived, so we decided to hike around a bit and see what we could find. They were camping in the Twin Lakes Campground. We hiked up a field of scree to investigate some rock croppings above one of the lakes. The girls were still having lots of fun together but we were afraid that our presence was too disruptive to their plans since the other two families did plan this vacation ...

Caldwell Family Blog: July 4th
http://caldwellfamilyof4.blogspot.com/2015/07/july-4th.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2015. July 4th was spent, as usual, with our friends' the Deans. We have a bbq and potluck. The kids play and we watch fireworks. There was no fire on Mt. Rubidoux from the fireworks. Then, by the end of the evening, we inevitably had to fight with the kids about leaving as they never want to leave their friends, no matter how late it gets.

Caldwell Family Blog: May 2015

Friday, May 29, 2015. The start of the hike would have been ideal.had it not been for all the people parked in the parking lot. The weather was perfect. It was overcast, but not too cold. There were wildflowers all along the trail. It was pretty hard hiking from the start. Emily lagged behind most of the day and we were afraid that we would not make it to our destination at the rate that we were going. The trail got a little more crowded after we passed the Dollar Lake Saddle at 10,000 feet as other hiki...
