Rock Wall Team

This is a picture of our rock wall climbing team, and the impressive wall behind us was what we conquered this afternoon, believe it or not!

Of course, the wall is pretty small as far as heights go.  We've had this wall at KidPak since the beginning, and though we do have some climbers, it's never been too heavily used.  I thought it would be fun to finally honor this wall with a video about some brave mountaineers (all filmed inside the tent before their big push up to the top).  And then the reveal - they're just doing this little climb here.  There's a slight Monty Python influence with references to the skit that has hair dressers climbing Everest.  We filmed this one today, and the end of it is rather surreal, as you'd expect.  But it was fun!

Today we were doing more planning for youth.  Madison was playing dodge ball, and getting ready for a few tests too.  She's actually got them tomorrow, three tests all in one day.  These make up 80% of her grade, so it's a big day in a way.  It's just bad timing to have three all in one day.  I know they don't coordinate it intentionally that way, but it made for a longer night of studying tonight.

She had Live to Give this afternoon, and after that there was small group night too, which of course led to piano class tonight.  Lots going on lately, and we're all rather busy.  It was cold outside, but we were dressed up rather warmly today, ready for it this time.

We read tonight, and we prayed.  We lost another American icon today, and it's been a depressing few days.  It's been a real downer of a  season.
