February Vacation Climbing Fun

Andy and Preston

It is February vacation week and we aren’t headed anywhere so I set up a few things for Andy to do with friends. Andy has a friend from when they were in karate. Andy’s friend Preston is the son of my friend Emily. She and I take Krav Maga classes together. Preston has climbed a few times with Andy and this Christmas the Rock Spot location had a sale on 5 passes so I told emily and she got them for Preston. That way we could get together and the boys could climb together.

We went over to climb in the early afternoon and the boys did about an hour of solid climbing together. We got there a bit early and Andy did a whole bunch of bouldering to get warmed up. Bouldering still stresses me out even though Andy isn’t going that high. It is my aversion to heights that stresses me out. But Andy is very good at climbing and does a great job every time we go.

the boys had a lot of fun climbing together. It is nice seeing Andy spend some time with Preston. They get along very well.

Today was a big day for Andy. I took Andy to a day of ADHD testing. We were there for several hours while Andy did a series of tests and met with a doctor. Andy did really well and when we were done we went to Rock Climbing because a new session began.

We got there pretty early and Andy was able to do some climbing around the bouldering area. Andy has new kids in their class this time around and a new instructor. We’re a bit sad that Emmett is no longer their instructor but the new one seems okay so far. Andy had a good time but really scraped up one of their palms. Not fun. We’re going through bandaids all over the place here. I cut myself taking the supports off Eva’s Totem of Undying. Really thin like a papercut.
