Gage's Birthday! - Part 1 of 2

It's hard to believe that Gage is growing up so fast.  As he has been totally loving climbing at ABC Kids Climbing, we decided to take the plunge and rent out the place for a birthday party for Gage.  He was pretty excited, though we had to be a bit careful with the invite list.  Unfortunately, his pre-school classmates didn't generally make the cut which was a bit tough.  Here he is above with two of his best friends.

Gavin also was excited about the choice and spent much of the time trying to show off his climbing skills to the younger crew. 

Gage was pretty happy to be able to finally climb with Daddy.  Typically, his classes are just a small group of kids and an instructor while the parents are relegated to the side waiting area.  Here he is waiting to climb on the wall and I (Brent) even have some climbing shoes on the get in on the action.

Here is Mom up with Gage in what appears to be the upstairs climbing area.  The kids often practice traversing and look for toy dinosaurs that have been hidden in some of the holds by the instructors.

Here is the lineup of his birthday party crew.  They all seemed to have a great time and several of them came back for later visits to climb on their own.
