Climbing the wall

From May 2012:  A few weeks ago I took S and G to the school playground on the weekend.  There were a few boys practicing baseball on the field and S was interested in watching.  Before I knew it, he had scaled the chain link backstop up 15 feet in the air!  He called out, Look Mom!  I went Aaah - Get down!  This is not a safe spot to climb.

And so today we went to a parent/child climbing class at a local rock wall.  S had a great time climbing.  Not as easy as chain link fence.  Really fun.  And somehow, I got a belay card.  Yes, I'm now certified to belay poor victims up a 33 foot climbing wall.  Who'da thunk it?

Sorry - no pictures, too busy with the rope!!
