jared and emily

Emily Wolfhope invited several of her friends to celebrate her birthday at a rock wall climbing party at Sport Rock in Sterling, Virginia. Behind her, Jared has his gear checked by an instructor.

April left out
Due to her unfortunate karate injury (an arm broken in two places) on Monday, April was unable to participate in the adventure. This is what Mom and Dad lovingly call "the poochy look."
