Rock climbing at the Quarry in Provo
After overwhelming the lady at the front desk with the 10 kids Leesa and I so bravely brought with us, we set out for quite the adventure. Who knew that all the kids would be such amazing climbers? Our hands were raw by the end from belaying them for 2 hours. It was worth the work to get those big smiles and watch their confidence soar with each step closer to their goal.
Emily was a great climber but got very nervous when it came to coming down. The two times she went up, she got about 1/2 way and another climber nearby would have to help us get her down (I love kind strangers!)
Emily was a great climber but got very nervous when it came to coming down. The two times she went up, she got about 1/2 way and another climber nearby would have to help us get her down (I love kind strangers!)Our kids couldn't wait to show Matt what great climbers they were; so back we went. What a great Friday night activity! (Plus, you only have to pay once for the WHOLE day... we love great deals!)
When we went back, Thomas helped Emily by staying by her side, encouraging her to keep going. He was so patient and kind. Emily knew she could do it with Thomas next to her! It was so cute to watch her face when she MADE IT!
Emily was SO proud of herself!!! After reaching the top with Thomas there was no stopping her. She kept climbing back up over and over and over again. She was not a happy camper when it was time to leave. We promised to come back very soon!
Jac was determined to master each wall. When she was tired, she kept going... "If Thomas made it, so can I!" She did awesome! Is there anything this girl can't do?
Thomas conquered 5 walls. He loved the challenge of the angles and tough spots. He got up so fast it was crazy!
He decided he deserved an In and Out "animal style" burger after... We agreed :)
It's fun to watch the kids do something they have never done before. They are so athletic it amazes me how everything they try, they pick up on it so easily! They definitely got it from their mom don't you think!?

What a great activity, I especially love the way Thomas helped Em and how proud she was when she did it, it is such a mental game, once she knew she could, nothing could stop her. Families are wonderful what a great Friday night, you are all awesome!!!!! love you and Jac I don't think there is anything you can't do!
