Rock Climbing

We took the boys up to REI today to try out the rock wall. It is something that they have been wanting to do for awhile now but we never seem to have enough time. The waited "patiently" for their turn and then got all suited up.

Ben went first as Jake posed for some pic's

Ben had a few moments of uncertainty but he really did quite well considering his typical apprehensions about new things.



He made it all the way to the bell. Way to go monkey boy I knew you had it in you.
Next it was Jake's turn. He was certain that he could make it to the top since he got his muscles from God and Daddy.




Jake didn't quite get the coordination of placing his feet stretching up and finding a place for his hands. If he was a bit taller and a bit more coordinated I am sure he could have made it. Maybe next time he will make it a bit further. Poor Jake cried when we told him it was time to come down. He wanted so badly to make it all the way up.
