Rock Climbing pictures

Posted in Pictures

Just wanted to share some pictures of the kids while they were taking some rock climbing classes today:



Here the kids are warming up in the Block Cave (I think that's what it's called).

Both kids going up.

This is the highest that Josh climbed today (each climb he got a bit higher).

Here's how high Charlotte got - right to the top!!!!  It took some convincing to get her to look down at me so I could take a picture of her face while she was up there, lol.
