Christmas Vacation

Christmas vacation from school is well underway.  The boys have been content staying home and relaxing.  Sleeping late (anywhere from 7:30 to 9) is a treat.  Playing video games all day?  Perfect.  We've also been playing with (and taking pictures of) the cats........

Playing football outside.........

And playing with Benny's awesome new remote control airplane, given to him by Gram and Grandad.

There's been jumping on the trampoline....after cleaning the pine needles off.

And last night we broke out the Trinomonoes and played a game or two or three.

 

But today was day two of nonstop rain, and we were restless.  So we drove down to Kennesaw and visited "Escalade," a rock wall climbing gym.

The boys had a GREAT time.

 For the record, Benny climbed all the way to the top several times.  He showed no fear.  Both boys found the walls to be challenging, and just the right amount of scarey.  They climbed them over and over.

There's Sam, nearing the top.

There were smaller, less complicated things to play with, too.

They loved this short wall, where you climb a few feet and then "fall" into the bean bags below.  They did that a long time, and there were some spectacular falls.

All in all, a good way to spend a rainy afternoon!
