KK was promised a rock-climbing outing by his Uncle D this week and Uncle D fulfilled it on Wednesday. Tuesday, KK was already announcing to his classmates "I'm going rock-climbing tomorrow."
So yesterday, we packed the whole family into the car after his class and drove to Yishun SAFRA. At the rock wall, Uncle D strapped KK into his kids-size harness and set up the ropes. KK will be the climber and Uncle D, the belayer. Alas, just as KK touched the wall to start climbing, the rain came in.
Luckily, there was an indoor rock wall (called 'boulder' or something?) which is fully air-conditioned and cushioned wall to wall, abeit a bit dusty. All of us packed inside - baby, maid, pram and all. KK had lots of fun, as if at a playground, climbing and walking on the foam mattresses, several levels up. Even I had to climb a little, to get to the next level, but mostly I was watching a few expert 'spidermans' defy gravity as they scaled from wall to wall.
As for my dear KK, I suspect his favourite moment was when he was suspended in the air (he climbed 1 metre, says he's tired and just let go), swinging on his harness, hanging only because of his reliable belayer, Uncle D.
