The Rockwall

Kate is a climber. She's been climbing everything since she learned to crawl. There's even a story the girls love to tell about Supermom firing a nanny who lost Kate in the house. Where did we find Kate? Climbing a bookshelf in the living room.

Considering her love of climbing it's no surprise that Kate would want to climb the rock wall at Dick's. We've taken her over there many times before but she has never met the height requirement. Today we zipped over there certain that Kate would be allowed to climb . . . after all she has grown a few inches these last few months.

She ran into the store and went straight to the height line. Uuuuugh, just and inch short. Quiet tears filled her sweet little eyes. She was so disappointed.

Big sister to the rescue.

Sarah is not a climber and she really doesn't care for heights, but her love for her sister is bigger than all that.

I can do this.

I do yoga, I'm flexible, I'm strong.

I can do this.

This one's for you Baby Kate.

I can do this.

Here I go.

Hey, this is fun!

Almost there.

I totally did it.

Mom, can I have my birthday party here?

Unfortunately, when I did call to schedule Sarah's birthday party we learned that Dick's had closed the rock wall. Kate was devastated.
