The party was held at a rock climbing facility.  Walking in, I wondered who in the world thought a bunch of five and six year olds would be able to climb the giant walls in front of us.  When you look at the above picture, you see his black eye that he got at school a few days ago.  He ended up with a black eye because he ran into a wall.  Literally.  He was running and &#8220;forgot to turn&#8221; and ran straight into a wall.  With that information in mind, it is clear why I questioned his ability to climb the rock wall.<\/p>\n<p>However, always amazing to me, see pictures below of him scurrying up the rock wall with ease and gracefulness (two words that I have never used in the same sentence as Caden).  Maybe those future chess lessons and math clubs will be traded for an occasional rock wall climb!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-TXrn6ifuTiU\/TrZIrvKQPLI\/AAAAAAAAAQA\/vc6oCpihBgU\/s1600\/Caden%2Bpart%2Bway%2Bup.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-TXrn6ifuTiU\/TrZIrvKQPLI\/AAAAAAAAAQA\/vc6oCpihBgU\/s320\/Caden%2Bpart%2Bway%2Bup.JPG?w=980\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671800696950766770\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s the one on the right side in the dark purple shirt and blue jeans almost to the top&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-wTcAe29QvnU\/TrZIryUu5NI\/AAAAAAAAAQU\/3TKc9_rXK9s\/s1600\/climbing%2Bwall.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-wTcAe29QvnU\/TrZIryUu5NI\/AAAAAAAAAQU\/3TKc9_rXK9s\/s320\/climbing%2Bwall.JPG?w=980\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671800697800025298\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-7JkVwy9K9UI\/TrZIsmTRQwI\/AAAAAAAAAQc\/K3jGUSPdnlI\/s1600\/Caden%2Bclimbing%2Btop.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-7JkVwy9K9UI\/TrZIsmTRQwI\/AAAAAAAAAQc\/K3jGUSPdnlI\/s320\/Caden%2Bclimbing%2Btop.JPG?w=980\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671800711752532738\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caden went yesterday to a birthday party for one of his classmates.
