We're Flying High

Big Wave Saturday

A lazy Saturday morning checking out the coast...

 The splits can be performed anywhere apparently.

Climbing

A few years ago, we had to encourage K to give climbing walls a go. They are great for learning that you have to persist with something over time, in order to improve. K now eagerly lines up to participate whenever we come across an opportunity to climb.

This one, at the foreshore over the holidays, promotes itself as the largest mobile climbing wall in Australia.

 K gave it a pretty good go, but didn't quite make it to the top. I'm sure she will build on this though for next time, and will push herself a little bit higher.

 We decided to try out, for the first time, a local climbing facility on the holidays. Daddy looked after the harness - which sounded all a bit complicated for Mum.

 K tried many different climbs, and eventually found some where she was comfortable getting to the top. This was a big confidence booster for her, as she has never actually made it to the top of a mobile climbing wall before.

K had fun climbing this rope. She has memories of doing this during gymnastics training in Darwin and always struggling to get up very far, whereas other girls could climb all the way to the roof. It is great to see her climbing has improved, or maybe it was the confidence the harness provided here. In Darwin, the girls climbed 10m to the roof with no harness at all. Regardless, K did a great job. Mum knows she wouldn't be pulling herself even one metre off the ground.
