Climb Time

Lindsey invited us to go rock climbing this weekend. The boys were really excited when they found out we were planning to go.
I knew they would really enjoy climbing around. When we arrived we had to first take a belay class. We learned how to tie off the climber and clip ourselves in. Then we practiced pulling the rope to keep it taught while the climber moved up the wall. I was paired with Logan and he started up the wall. When he got half way he began to get nervous. The guy who was instructing us climbed up with him to encourage and show him where to step next. He eventually made it to the top and was done. Once he was back on the ground all he wanted was a tootsie roll pop from the counter. Evan did really well. Reuben was paired with him. He climbed the wall a few times. Evan really liked free climbing the wall by himself. (of course not far up the wall) We each took turns climbing the wall. Evan and Laney did great, but I was truly amazed by Samantha. She climbed up and down the wall like a monkey. She was so sweaty from climbing. Lindsey and Jared climbed a more difficult wall. They both have a good build to be rock climbers. We all had fun and hoped that the kids were worn out. Boy were we wrong.
