Climbing
Bjarki missed out on trying to scale the climbing wall at the Spring Festival the other day so I promised him he’d get to climb later.
Today I fulfilled my promise and took the kids to the Climbing House (Klifurhúsið, family hours 16-18 on Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer) after picking Bjarki up from daycare. The kids ran around and did some climbing until fatigue set in and we headed back home.
Anna wasn’t too thrilled by the experience (sore hands are a bummer), but Bjarki thought it was a lot of fun (he’s nothing but lean muscle) and wants to go back next week!

Swinging on the rings by the kiddie/warm-up corner.
Anna trying a different wall. I wasn’t climbing(had Emma in a carrier) so I couldn’t really show her where she should be putting her hands and feet. Climbing is a lot more strategic than I thought!
Scaling yet another wall!
Siblings, hanging off a wall.
Almost at the very top of the ladder. We left soon thereafter.
I ran into fresh corn at the store today for the first time in ages, and couldn’t resist!
A slightly more unusual perspective. I regret not buying more of them for future meals!
This morning I took Anna to see her orthodontist, who decided to keep waiting-and-seeing to see what Anna’s teeth will do in the near future. I used the opportunity to have her height measured, and Anna’s now 155.3 cm tall, or 5 ft 1 inch, which is way tall for a nine and a half year old. My genes are so much fun! 🙂
