Kate’s First Rock Climb

Today we went shopping in Park City and then stopped to do some rock climbing on the way back to Orem. Kate did her first climb. I was really bummed when I realized that we forgot the camera, so the pictures we did get were from a cell phone.

Our tradition is that whoever gets in a harness and climbs gets ice cream. It was so much fun to see Kate climbing with us this time.

Audrey got started really well. She reached up with both hands, latched on, and pulled her feet away from the rock. Her arms were tough – she hung there for a few seconds. I was trying to get Audrey to get a good hand hold so that we could get a picture, but as you can see in the second picture of her above that she didn’t like that idea too much.

We were climbing right next to the river, or creek, or whatever you call it and when we finished climbing, Jeana took the girls down to play by and in the water. Playing in the water seemed to be the highlight of their climbing experience for them today. My favorite part was the chocolate ice cream!

  1. Good job Kate & Audrey! Wow… I didn’t think I would see that face from Audrey for a good 8 years from now.
    Come home, Baldwinators. It’s not the same without you.
