The infamous Recreation Center had its official Grand Opening on May 8th! It looks beautiful and is quite a dynamic and state of the art facility. Some of the highlights include an ice skating rink and climbing wall. I'm debating about trying out the ice rink in the near future (First, I have to get over my one and only bad ice skating experience when I was 8 years old), but because of my fear of heights I doubt I will experience the Climbing Wall. Chris and Tom, however, were all gung ho about it and we all went over there last night so the boys could try it out. I was pretty impressed actually. I learned two aspects of rock climbing last night (I sat through the orientation as well)
1) Bouldering is climbing without a harness (what the boys did last night night)
2) Belaying is when you rock climb with a harness and then kinda jump your way down (what the boys are getting certified to do on Friday night)
The rock wall is actually pretty nice, and spans about 2.5 stories high! Here are some pictures of the boys climbing last night:
