Silas' third, tenth birthday party


Benoit arrives with the gear




The guests arrive!





Hiking to the spot




Good friends







 Here comes Sagey....

























Silas and Sagey, both up high




After 4 hours of climbing, they still have quite a bit of energy left!




Sort of like puppy dogs




Look who we found!







The gouter waiting for the climbers....







Sage teaches one of Silas' big boy friends how to tie a REAL knot.
  
Proud little sister





Here comes Baba!


Homemade apricot rose glaze with Grand Marnier.





















It's Lily!

Benoit asked Sagey to show Silvan how to make an 8 knot.


 Sagey checks his work














Silas was very, very happy!




















Whirlwind of Sagey










Big Silas



Rappelling











Very Hungry Boys





And Girls

They "assured" each other, and if they had never done it before the instructor put a back up kid who knew how to do it, behind the newbie...also sometimes a tree as a back up! But there was an instructor with his "brevet" in escalade etc......
