Climbing and Pedicures

We’re a bit behind in blogging because it has been very busy around here.  We’ll try to improve our efforts but be patient with us if we fall behind again.

After we picked up Grandpa from the hospital we decided to take advantage of a rainy afternoon and go to the climbing gym.   (Steve sat with Grandpa while they waited for the luggage to arrive). Elsinore was not sure about climbing at first but after seeing Uncle O and her Mom climb the big walls, she was ready and asked for me to put her harness on.  We climbed a bit with harness but without the rope and she loved it.  Once we started using the rope, though, she wasn’t as sure.  It could have been she had too much help (both O and I were a bit overzealous) or it could have been the strange sensation of the rope pulling on her.  Either way, when she was done with this climb she was done with rope climbing for the day.  We did a bit more bouldering afterwards, and she was great at it.  She also loved watching the other kids.  I really hope we get back there at least one more time before they go.





Nothing says "holiday season" like bright blue toes!  Pedicures all around.
