Every year we go to the kite festival and get a free kite. Every year Katie tries to climb the climbing wall. She has never made it more than about half way up. This year she mapped out her way to the top. She was so excited. She got her rigging on and started up. She didn't make it more than about 3 feet off the ground before she was stuck. She was so disappointed. After going to do a few more things she decided to give it another shot. We got in line again and waited our turn. The line was about 8-10 min long. Shortly after we got in line I pointed to a kid that was on the wall. He was maybe 5. Who knows how long he had been trying to climb the wall but he wasn't having much success. He didn't make it more than half way up before slipping and falling. That didn't seem to bother him. He just rode the line down until he could grab the wall and he started over. He was still trying when it was our turn to try. Katie decided that if he could do it so could she. She didn't give up this time and she made it to the top. Wow was she excited! She got to push the siren and everything. She was so glad she didn't give up. (Matt and I thanked the kids mom later - she had no clue anyone was watching.) They did eventually make the kid get off. He did not make it to the top.
