Jeff took Josh rock climbing today and it turned into a family affair. We thought the event might last an hour or so, but the kids kept wanting to climb and we were there over two hours! It was really fun and sparked our enjoyment of climbing. Now that we know it is something that we can enjoy as a family, we'll probably start to do this more often.
Katelyn originally was just going to watch Josh, but then decided she wanted to take a turn. One climb turned into five! She climbed about ten feet on her own before she wanted to come down. Katelyn enjoyed the bouldering walls a lot too.
Our friend Gwen climbed beside Josh a few times too. She has climbed this a lot in her five years and was a great encouragement to Josh. Josh enjoyed Gwen a lot and they worked their way up to the top! It was a sweet experience for him - he was so excited and proud!
Here is Katelyn on the bouldering wall. Bouldering is done without a harness.
Like father like son!
At the end, Josh and Katelyn got a chance to climb together too!
Thank you Lori, Bob, and Gwen for all of your help climbing today! We had a great time!
