Rappel Cancelled Due to Weather - October 1 - 2, 2011
Daddy got up early and drove downtown to rappel down the Washington Monument but both days the rappel was cancelled due to weather. Daddy still worked the majority of the day but didn't actually rappel down the building. Mommy was happy they stayed on the ground after watching Daddy "fly" on Friday when a wind gust blew him. We hope the weather will cooperate on Monday so the team can safely finish their job.

Daddy Blown While Rappelling Washington Monument - September 30, 2011
Today, we went down to support Daddy while he was rappelling down the Washington Monument. His parents came down as well. It was another fun day watching Daddy, until the very end of the day when a huge wind gust blew him to the other side of the monument. It was the first time I really became anxious. I knew Daddy was well trained but I didn't think there was much he could do about the sudden wind gust. Daddy later told me he was prepared and had practiced going to the other side of the building in case something like that happened so he knew what to expect as it was happening. We're happy to report he is fine.
Please refer to some pictures of the day:
