The kids have really been anxious to hike and climb this year. Luckily, there is a crag nearby we go to often. There are some good scrambling climbs, an miles of hiking trails. Ian is an awesome climber at age 5. He's totally fearless so I often have to chase him to keep him from falling. Samantha is a great climber as well. Although, her selection of girly shoes are not adequate for climbing and she often is seen sliding down on her butt to get down from a climb. We like to go from October thru April because of the lack of vegetation (i.e poison ivy) and insects. They are both insectophobes. One bug can cause a panic that quite frankly has me wondering about their safety ( as well as their sanity).This Fall, I'm taking them to the Gunks (Shawangunk Mtns., NY) for the first time. That should be fun.
