Kayla has been wanting to go rock wall climbing for a while, but it turns out that our local wall will not be open until fall (if even). A little web searching found that Gurnee park district has a rock wall and only charges non-residents $1 per person to climb for as long as you want! So the girls and I popped over yesterday for some climbing. They both made it to the top to ring the bell, and climbed for 45 minutes until their little fingers gave out. Both kids are a teeny bit sore today. I gave it a try too, but my arms were super tired from lifting weights in the morning and gave out (I don&#8217;t have super strong arms anyway).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-272\" alt=\"wall1\" src=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall1.jpg\" width=\"1124\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall1.jpg 1124w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall1-168x300.jpg 168w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall1-575x1024.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-275\" alt=\"wall4\" src=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall4.jpg\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1124\" srcset=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall4.jpg 2000w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall4-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall4-1024x575.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall4-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-274\" alt=\"wall3\" src=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall3.jpg\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1124\" srcset=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall3.jpg 2000w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall3-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall3-1024x575.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall3-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-273\" alt=\"wall2\" src=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall2.jpg\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1124\" srcset=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall2.jpg 2000w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall2-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall2-1024x575.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wall2-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today, Kayla has a sleep over party at her friend Abby&#8217;s house.
