Rock Climbing Monkey



Ella's friend Aubrey had her 3rd Birthday Party at an indoor climbing center. We thought it would be fun but didn't think Ella would dare climb up the walls. She surprised us with her bravery and her attention span for climbing. I think she made about 20 attempts. She could have gone higher but seeing how high up she was made her want to come down. Plus, as you will see in the video (bottom of page), her favorite part was swinging down off the wall. Sometimes she hurriedly climbed the wall just to be able to swing down.



Here's her first attempt. She was a little unsure at first and needed Daddy to teach her how to do it. But after that she caught on quick.



Here's Ella watching Aubrey take her turn. Ella wanted to be first in line for when Aubrey was finished.

SO FUN! I think it's great that you take you kids to do so many fun things. They are lucky! You've been so good at posting in your blog lately and I love seeing what you've been up to. Keep it up!

Way to go, Ella! This is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. Lauren is here with me and she wants to tell you that we love Ella so much, think about her a lot, and love her haircut. Also, we would love to climb with you soon! Love, Rachel & Lauren :)
