Rock Climbing

There is an REI store at the mall near our house.  Every time we go to the mall and walk by REI, Jackson wants to go inside and look at the climbing rock.  He BEGS to climb it.  So, one time we were in the store, I asked one of the employees if there was an age range for climbing, and they said no - it was open to anyone.  So, we had a free afternoon this past Saturday and headed down to REI to let the boys give it a try.  They watched as an older girl climbed all the way to the top, and Adam decided that he was brave enough to give it a try. 
Here he is getting all roped up.
 and climbing...
 and this is about as high as he got before panic set in and he wanted down. 
 Then it was Jackson's turn.  I think he looks so little getting a his harness on.
Here he is - all ready to go!
 
 He made it about 2 feet off the floor, before this happened...
He wanted to be so brave, but he just couldn't do it...
Here are a couple of videos of the climbers...
