Hanging at the Quarry

The kids were like pros this year at the quarry. We spent about 4 hours taking turns climbing with most of Rick's family. Rick and Jake raced to the top.
I pushed myself this year and did some harder climbs. Check out those calves!Wow, that's exhuasting.
Tyson showing that he could make it where mom couldn't.
He used chalk this year for his grip and climbed using the tags so he would only use certain grips to get up certain routes, a more advanced skill.
Kate hung around chatting between turns. She never has a hard time starting up conversations.
She scurried right to the top...way to go!
It's a long ways up there for a 5 year old (and even for a 35 year old!)
Paige swooned Angie's phone from her, something she's become quite good at to unsuspecting family members. She uses her puppy eyes, bright smile, and a sob story about how her daddy won't let her use his phone. Works like a charm everytime. (Aunt Kay and Grandpa Hoyle have been some of her other targets)
But she didn't just sit around, she took her turn thanks to some help from Pappy.
Bradley zipped right up the easy one first and then moved onto the intermediate climbs.
