Don't just turn 6 ... conquer it! Jack informed us months ago that he wanted his birthday party at The Inner Wall, a local indoor climbing center. There is a rather well known set of cliffs (The Shawangunk Ridge) right in our New Paltz backyard. The "stoners"(HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA - hoo boy am I funny!) hang out at The Inner Wall to tune up and build their skills. It functions as a birthday party bonanza as well.
Well, all of the kids were great. Only 2 of them were downright skittish with 1 suffering a total breakdown "mid-cliff". Yours truly served as the belay (rope bearer requiring harness and use of carabiners ) for many of the fledgling climbers and the one in crisis. One of the Inner Wall rescue team members had to scale the "cliff"to talk him down.
Cindy whipped up 48 cupcakes for the party which was this past Saturday October 20. For Jack's actual birthday on October 15, Cindy blasted out a bunch of home made cookies for the class. We were told that Jack dropped an entire tray of them on the floor.
Only a few photos were taken by Cindy and the quality is so so but honestly in this day and age where every moment is chronicled, I believe we will all get by just fine. It's not like we need some professional photographer following us around like some people we know.
Jack was happy with all of his presents and will be thanking you all for them if he has not already.
