    Make sure you don't send kids up trees when they don't want to!!! You don't want them to hate it.

    love

    When my nieces were smaller we would put them in full body harnesses for climbing. Then my bro and I would wear shoulder harnesses so that we could biner them to our chests. It is so fun to be face to face with an ear to ear smile

    Their favorite thing to do would be to get up in the air and have the rope swung side to side or in a circle. The kids would lean back and so would we to do airplane spins.

    Th girls really like to go climbing. They were disappointed that we didn't get our the last time I was down there.

    Look at the smile on this kid. I bought him the following, A new tribe saddle, 120' safety vee. lanyard with gibbs ascender. stihl hand saw. starting out, He learned the tautline slide. (I did the knot.) he went up 35+' and rapelled down.
    I helped pull him up, and belayed him down. Now he wants to go everyday.

    I've got an old pair of klein spikes, he wants me to cut em to fit.
