Little Boulderers

I took the kids bouldering this weekend at The Climbing Works. What is great about this venue is that they have a kids problem section. Lots of holds closely spaced. The Boy was doing actual problems, and The Girl could get up all-holds-on under her own power. You can see a quick glimpse of the kids section in the video below. The kids actually get to top out, and then come down a slide from the top. Lucky them. It was a great day and we spent about three-and-a-half hours there.



Today is Guy Fawkes day! So fireworks have been non-stop all weekend. After bouldering we all went over to a mates house for diner, a bonfire, burn an effigy, and a few fireworks. I can just see the kids when we get back to the States.
Random Teacher: What did you learn in England?
The Boy: How to set a scarecrow on fire.

Tonight, we just got back from a fireworks display at the kids school. It was cold, but loads of fun. I really like the school that the kids go to and will miss it terribly when we get home.

Speaking of which, it looks like we will be here until the end of March, for those of you who don't read CPA Mommy. It's not carved in stone yet, but seems quite likely.
