Climbing Buddy

In the midst of many blessed meetings on this fundraising trip for our event center at Malenovice in the Czech Republic, the Lord has given some precious gifts to us.

Like this one.

Dave and I flew into Denver and met up with our Caleb in the parking lot of a Starbucks late at night.

That heartfelt hug melted my heart.

Dave is sporting a new hat, a gift from Caleb for an important reason!

As did watching these two talk a "mile a minute"!

But we weren't just meeting up with Caleb. I was actually dropping Dave off so that he could go with Caleb, drive into the Rockies and camp at a trailhead.

These two were up early, having breakfast that Caleb cooked over his cool new camp stove that we gave him for his Moody graduation.

And then? They were off on a big climb.

Caleb's been wanting to climb a "14-er", as they're known by in Colorado, so Dave came for a day to do that with him!

They said it couldn't have been a better day to do it. The weather was perfect, the company was excellent, and the climb was doable for both!

But true to Patty style, one "14-er" in a day isn't enough.

Yes, they climbed a second one as well!

It was an exquisitely perfect day for these two who love an adventure. So thankful for the Lord's kindness in giving them that time together.
