After Greg got home the boys took off to the Legacy Center for some rock climbing (again, Kate was sleeping and I stayed home with her. I seem to say that a lot.) This was especially exciting because our family earned our rock climbing. We earn house points by doing good deeds, not whining, saying our prayers and reading our scriptures and being kind to each other. Each house point is put into our house cup to go towards family outings. It's a great way to remember to be good.
Anyway, rock climbing was our first goal and we finally reached it! All the boys had a wonderful time. Greg and Gavin had so much fun climbing and would race to the top. Greg went one-handed, one-footed and still could keep up with Gavin. Enoch was too light to climb and ended up coming home with a bruise anyway. Apparently he ran into the glass wall surrounding the climbing wall. The guy helping them climb closed down the wall and got him an ice pack. Enoch was so proud to tell me what happened when he got home. I'm happy he still had a good time. Now, we get to work toward our next outing: the Zoo. (A few days after going rock climbing, Enoch was drawing a picture. I asked him to tell me about his picture and he said it was of the rock climbing wall at the swimming suit house. How cute is that?!)

You are a GREAT mom, Tresa. Your kids are lucky to be in your family.
Looks like a fun day! The museum was fun, lets definetly go when it is less crowded. Don't worry about the sand, I'm sure next time it will be Carson throwing it at Enoch!
what a great idea with the family reward cup. I think it is so important to teach kids that they have to earn what they get in life. Great partenting tip!
I've always thought your house cup idea was so great! It looks like rock climbing was a lot of fun and I'm sure your kids were enjoyed it that much more because they earned it.
