Climbing up the Walls

We all know that my boys can climb the walls sometime.  My husband has also been known to climb some walls himself, in fact, he goes once every couple of weeks with our friend Scott and rock climbs at Triangle Rock Club.  So, one weekend, Scott and Ian decided to take the whole family, including the wall climbing little ones, to test their skills at the rock gym.  Don't worry, I wasn't going to let them have all the fun, I wanted to do some climbing myself.

We had a great time monkeying around for the day.  Ian and Scott had fun, but you could tell they were just itching to climb everything instead of helping out their families.  I had a great time actually getting a chance to climb for once, I even got to challenge myself and go up one of the tall 50 foot walls.  It was nice to show the boys that their mom can actually kick a little butt every once and a while too.

The kiddos didn't do to badly themselves.  Scott's oldest girl, Amelia took after her father and climbed up all the way to the top of one of the walls.  Benny made it up almost to the top.  Evan climbed all over the place and clearly could have made it as high as he wanted, except he doesn't particularly like heights and it made him a bit nervous.

We all had a great time, and it was great to get to all go and be monkeys together!
