Up the Wall

Climbing.

Yep. You read that correctly.

You never know what you might encounter when you open a Dingus blog.

But, a family that climbs together... uuhh.... wait a minute, something will come to me...

A family that climbs together.... gets sore together?

No, no. That's not it.

A family that climbs together has fun!

Within the first twenty-four hours of being home, Ben became a certified wall supervisor.

So one morning, we decided to go climbing.

That day, I made two monumental discoveries.

One-

I did not give birth to children. 

My children are monkeys. 

While rock climbing was offered as an elective in middle school, Jacob never had the chance to take it. He's quick and strong. Hopefully, he'll be able to take the belaying course that Ben and Abbi took in high school.

Will the swimming basketball player have enough upper body strength to overcome that obstacle?

Ben has developed a true passion for climbing. It began during high school, but ramped up at college. Between classes and working, he spends lots of time climbing. 

How did he do that?

The other discovery?

Two-

It ain't as easy as it used to be.

 Or in other words, age is catching up to me.

 Guess I need to run faster. 

Or maybe hide.

Even though my shoulders ached for days, I loved the family time!
