I think you can overstate the seriousness of such matters! Of course there's a back up phone with spare payg sim for emergencies, but a small risk of temporary internet loss I can live with.

The wifi tethering thing is a very sensible route; in fact I have ALL my internet via my mobile phone set up as a wifi hotspot. I pay £24 per month for my phone calls/texts and unlimited internet data. I refuse to pay on top of that for a land line and internet contract! Internet speed is fine for streaming video etc.

Great shots. Looks like it's less that Pentax is poor for sports, than SDM is poor for sports...

If she wants her own camera with a similar feel to your k5iis, why not try a k500 or even a used kx, maybe with a superzoom? Bridge cameras are disappointing in general - although Sony does offer a reasonable one with a 1 inch sensor (at a much higher cost of course! )

Excellent shots, no. 1 is my favourite composition.

Always liked Giulio's work and appreciated his kind comments, but the work on his own website blew me away! Very artistic and technically accomplished. Love the use of slow shutter speeds.

FWIW The Camera Store (those guys off Youtube) said the K3 was 'hands down' the best APSC DSLR out there.

On an open shelf.

I agree that Pentax batteries are probably the best. However as a back up, 3rd party makes so much sense it hurts! Most seem to be so close to Pentax battery performance you wouldn't really notice in use. Even the poorest performing ones are useful to have to get you out of a hole.
