It Was a Dark and Stormy Night...

so what do the McMillans do to amuse ourselves? We go "climbing" of course (well, Kevin and the kids do anyway). This is our version of extreme sports. We have a storage area up in our room above the closet and bathroom that has become the "rock wall." Kevin makes harnesses out of rope for the kids. Kevin has taught Cade how to clip in to the carabiner and say, "On belay" and "Belay on" to get ready to climb. (I think that's how you spell it. I'm not up-to-date on the climbers lingo.)

Cade is looking at himself in the mirror. He loves doing this.
He even likes to rappel up the wall.
Myla got her first turn last night. Kevin had to put a pair of his socks on her legs to keep the rope from chafing her legs.
So, of course, Cade had to put on a pair of Daddy's socks too. So stylish!
Myla trying to get the hang of holding on to the rope. They did it! They made it to the top.

Kevin is a pretty creative dad. This is an activity I would never have thought of, but the kids love it.
