Northwest Cabarrus Park

Here are some pictures from our family outing to the local park. Very fun park with 2 playgrounds, walking trails and a large pond.  We had a good time and even took the dog! (See picture of Calinda walking Tarzan)

It was much enjoyed although hot. We also had the goodyear blimp, and about 4 fighter jets flying in formation fly right over us as it was race weekend!  So that was a first for all of us. We ended our Memorial Day weekend on Monday by going to the pool again. The boys just can't seem to get enough of the pool! It is still pretty cold to me even though the air temperature has been around 85 degrees. If the pool was about 5 degrees warmer it would be nice. But we've been told that by midsummer they are spraying the water from the pool through hoses across the air to cool down the water. That is a scary thought that it will get that warm.

Rock Climbing

So as part of our fun Memorial Day weekend we took the boys climbing at a indoor rock gym in Charlotte called Inner Peaks. Niels and I have only been climbing once since we moved to North Carolina, and the boys haven't been at all. For those of you that don't know, we were members to a rock climbing gym in Bloomington, IL before we left. It has been about 9-10 months since the boys have been climbing. They had such a great time and both of them climbed a lot more than I expected!  Christian even got to swing in his harness back and forth through the air with the help of a staff member. Niels and I didn't climb this time with the boys but we hope to be able to go again soon. I really miss it. It was just great to see the boys climb and how much they have changed in 9 months really hit me! They are growing up so fast!
