Rock Climbing in the Canyon

         Our friends, the Biglers, took us rock climbing (#8 on my res. list) at one of the roadside cracks in Kern River Canyon.  I'll admit I was terrified at first but I really wanted to go so I wiped off my sweaty palms, calmed my seriously beating heart and I DID IT!  After only a few times down the rock I managed to overcome my fear of heights and we had a totally awesome time.  Evelyn and Brayden even got a chance to go down.  Evelyn braved it much better than I could have imagined and she was already ready to go again the second her feet hit the ground.  We had such a great time!  I can't wait to go again.  Thanks Nathan and Stephanie for taking us!  You guys "ROCK"!

Rock Climbing

Some friends of ours have this freakin' sweet rock climbing wall in their backyard so during our last visit with them we thought we'd let the kids take a crack at it.  Here's some pics...

Here's Preston hanging on tight...

...STILL hanging on....

...and STILL hanging on!  I'm not sure how long he actually stayed up but he managed to hang on for quite a while.  I casually took like 10 pictures waiting for him to drop.
