Rock Climbing

 Lauren has been DYING to go rock climbing at the Y and now that she is 5 she can! Last week at Ben's t-ball practice Lauren made friends with Haley, the t-ball equipment manager from the Y and we found out she is also in charge of the rock climbing wall! Lauren loved her so much we had her babysit Saturday night! She was THRILLED to go see her today and do her first climb. 
 It was a little trickier than she expected so she wanted Kevin to go so she could watch. 
 She did pretty good and got about 1/2 the way up the wall. She did this over and over and over! 
 Climbing with dad. 
 I decided to give it a shot too, it's not really my thing being that I am scared to death of heights (and I count anything above 6 ft as scary)! It was fun though, but more challenging than I expected. 
Lauren got Haley to climb with her too. Lauren is already talking about going back next weekend!

You are VERY brave. I got cold sweat just looking at the pictures. And 6' off the ground IS high. Mikey was allowed to do the climbing wall at the Y when he was 3 (then they got all strict about the age limit), and he loved it so much. The twins were little spider monkeys scrambling up the wall as well. But I'd NEVER do it, even if I weren't old and fat.
