On a rainy day in March, we decided to check out the Sender City climbing gym. One section of the gym was just for older kids and avid rock climbing adults and was covered in wall-to-wall bouldering practice walls and rock climbing routes. The girls were fascinated watching all the pro climbers!

The kids section was fun and colorful, with tons of themed rock climbing walls and random platforms/places to jump off. At first, the girls were a little apprehensive, but once they got used to the auto-belay and realized no matter where they jumped, they would descend slowly, they became more brave!

Samantha just went for it!

Amelia took a little longer to work up the courage to climb some of the platforms and jump, but once she acclimated, she loved it!

Poor Meredith was just a few pounds below the weight minimum for climbing with the auto belay and had to hang out in the toddler area.

This slide looked so fun!

Go Amelia!

Jump, jump, jump!

Meredith made a little friend and together they plotted how to bust out and make their escape.

The staff said Meredith would probably be fine trying out the climbing next time we come and the twins couldn’t wait to come back to practice (especially after working up an appetite and having gatorade + an energy cookie afterwards).

Lots of love,
