The 8 year old's PaRtY!

We give our kids birthday parties on their even birthday's.  This year Addison chose to go rock climbing for her birthday.  I was SO happy we didn't have to go to Chuck E. Cheese again, and this was something we haven't done as far as birthday parties go.  Luckily, her ear infection was under control (thanks to the wonderful antibiotics).  We rented out the rock wall at the Legacy Center for an hour and the girls (8 plus Asher) probably each got to climb 10-12 times each.  I even scaled it once and it was TOUGH!  It was so much fun and they all wanted their pictures taken each time they got higher and higher.  Asher was hilarious and wouldn't let go of the rope so I would push him up as far as I could get him and then he would repel down.  That was his most favorite part, and he was so funny. 
All the girls seemed to have a great time, even Aubree (Addie's BFF who is scared of heights) kept climbing a little higher each time.  I have to give her a lot of credit for continuing to climb over and over with her fear of heights.
Afterwards we came back to the house for pizza and cake and icecream.  The girls were all so cute and so nice to Addie with the presents they gave her.  They all made it such a nice birthday for her.
 Ready to climb!

Where's the picture of you climbing, Des? I was hoping to see that! Sounds like such a fun birthday idea. And I'm glad you didn't have to go to Chuck E Cheese's either. Ugh.
