rock climbing adventure

Back in January, we spent a weekend in Milwaukee just to have some fun and spend time as a family.
Our favorite part of the weekend was rock climbing!  It was so much fun.  This place was great for us beginners, and even Everly was old enough to try it.  (Although she didn't try very hard, but she was content watching us and cheering us on!)
Krew started the day pretty scared and hesitant.  He would go up a little way, and then decide he couldn't go any higher.  Finally, he decided that he was determined to go all the way to the top, so he did.  Then we couldn't get him to stop!  He would scamper all the way to the top, come down and as long as there was no one waiting behind him, he would go right back up again!  This is how Krew learns and succeeds in lot of areas of his life, and I love him for it!
Ky was quietly determined the whole time.  I would watch him climb a trickier route.  He would get to a point where he felt stuck, and I watched as he analyzed the route ahead of him, and eventually he found a way up, even if it took him quite a while.  He did not give up!

I think this is about as high as Everly went all day.  Give it a few years, and she'll be ready to scamper  all the way up the wall!


I love this picture! What a fun day we had!
I raced Ky and Kade.  Can you see who won? ;)



Another highlight of this trip was swimming in the hotel pool.  The kids were thrilled when we got into our room and realized that there was a back door in the room that went straight out to the pool area!  Coolest hotel room ever!
I love when we get to go on adventures as a family and make happy memories together!
