Rock Climbing

Well last week was my little Heather's first rock climbing experience. She only made it just over 10 feet up. She would get scared then they would give her some encouragement and she would go up a little more. I think that she was a little more nervous about not being as good as some of the others. Lori, The girl that is above Heather, has been rock climbing for about 4 years now and helped Heather quite a bit. They hit it off really good. She goes again tomorrow and is really nervous, but she still wants to go. This week at the PYW Heather practiced belaying and they think she is ready to do it independently tomorrow and Lori is going to let Heather partner up with her. On another note Lori is going into 11th grade and we are trying to work it out for her to be a "big sister" for Heather in school next year. Mr. Martell, who works for the Middle High School and at the PYW, said that they both are hitting it off great and they would be a great match. I am so proud of Heather for trying rock climbing because it is new to her and challenging (we know how much courage this has taken for Heather to try something new infront of so many people).
