Thanks Brookie!

Brookie had given Chris a gift certificate to a climbing gym and Chris had never been able to use it. So last night we were trying to figure out something fun and new we could do for family date night. Chris saw the certificate and said "let's go"! So we hesitantly set off for Solid Rock in Lake Forest, not sure how the kids would respond. But after Chris played 20 questions with them and they actually figured out what is was they were excited. Whew!

We got geared up, had a quick lesson and off they went! I was the designated belayer and the kids were climbing maniacs. Once they figured out they they couldn't fall, there was no stopping them. They absolutely loved it! It was so much fun.

Sam reaching new heights. With his long arms and legs and slimness, he was awesome.

Sophie was so fast it was hard to keep her rope tight, she's a natural-no fear!

Chris mastering one of the toughest climbs.

Maggie and Sam just hanging out...

Go Sophie!

The belayers at work. Sam was handling Chris and I had Sophie.

Maggie was able to climb a little, but when it got too high, she was done. She was such a good sport and just played in the gym and hung out with us.

What a babe.....

We literally had to drag the kids out of the gym. We were there a couple of hours and it was past their bedtime, but they did not want to leave. I think we found a new family favorite.
Thank you Brookie!
