My son begs to go canyoneering. He isn't even three years old yet. My wife wants to do more canyons before our baby arrives. She is due in 11 days! Some time will pass before any of us see another canyon. We race to Hanksville before the baby tries to make his escape!

On Monday, April 14th, 2014, Steph, John, our unborn son and I headed through Crack Canyon.

This was my son's first canyon completed under his own power. Yes I helped him down the downclimbs. Yes I carried him up the canyon. No matter, he gets full credit.

A proud poppa, I am.

Steph showed crazy athletic prowess. She downclimbed and upclimbed the entire canyon, no assists required. (I did spot her on every drop.)

An amazed husband, I am.

Crack was my son's first as well years ago. Great canyon for romping. Short but great narrows!

Nice, thanks for sharing Bob. I can't believe your wife is that close, seems just like yesterday when she got pregnant. Time flies.

:2thumbs:Very cute. I admit that I am secretly disappointed that your wife did not deliver in the canyon. ( Not that that would have been a good thing but it would have made for a great story).

Don't you know? Steph and I post EVERYTHING we do on the internets. If you watch our video, all of you questions will be answered.

I also made a sweet video with your mom. :twisted: :haha:

I am sensing a market for a canyon specific baby carrier.

The new 'must have' if you attend Fetus Fest.
