Today we went to Mountain Equipment Coop on our way to the Husband's mother's house.  It was great, I hadn't been there since the Boy was small.  Miss it:)  The purpose of our trip was to get proper backpacks for the kids to use for school and for vacations and day trips.  We picked out bags that were bigger than they need right now, but I am hoping with the high quality of MEC products they will last a long time.

While we were there the Boy and the Girl got to try rock wall climbing.  The Boy did really well, he made it almost to the second story, but got a little stuck where the wall jutted inwards, he needs a little more strength to stay on the wall at that point.  The Girl did great on the flat part of the wall and made it up pretty high.  She is just not strong enough to keep against the wall and eventually gave up, but she did great.
