The Wall of Doom-that Ana Conquered!

 On Friday the Shepherd Kids got to go to Camp Indy.  We had Bible, walked through the forest, and did a ropes course.  They also got to climb a rock wall.  As we approached it I said to myself, "None of our kids are going to be able to do this!  It is too hard."  They have a forty foot wall.  The staff was very professional and safety was very important to them.
 Ana was the first one to climb and she zoomed up the wall (in less than three minutes) with very little coaching from the staff.

 As she got higher she really had to stretch her little body for the next hold.

 Almost there as mom watches in awe.  To her advantage she is very light weight!

It is hard to see, but the reward for reaching the top is a zip line that goes down into the woods.  Of course, she loved it!  Five of our class one students made it to the top.  Just goes to show that sometimes we adults underestimate the little people!
