We really try to fill Christmas break with some fun activities. School is so long and the breaks that they get are so short. We miss just having down time to spend as a family with no sports or activity committmetns. Robb was able to take the day off and we went to Mahoney for the day. We love the ice skating and this year we signed up to do the climbing wall too. We has a great time. Caleb was quickly reminded that ice skating isn’t his thing and instead he rented a sled to go down the sledding hills that they have. Emmy was easier to manage on the ice this year, last year she was trying to ice dance and her feet rarely touched the ground as I about broke my back to hold her up. This year she made it around with me holding 2 hands and eventually just one hand. It always takes Abby and Bryce a little bit to get the hang of it again but they did just fine once they figured it out.
This year Mahoney had their climbing wall area open. This was pretty impressive! You had to go through a mini lesson on how to use the harness and then they let you loose to climb. All the ropes were automatic brûlée so it would just catch you if you happened to fall. This wasn’t really an activity for Emmy so her and I just watched after we convinced her to do one climb. The other kids didn’t have any fear and would climb all the way up to the top.
