Today I took my sister out for a ROCKin' birthday adventure to celebrate her turning 41. I say it was "ROCKin'" because the theme was "rock"- both the literal and figurative forms of the word. This idea came from a joke I shared with a co-worker that ended up turning into a great idea. Here's what we did.
We started out our day meeting at a Starbucks Coffee house mid-way between our houses. Of course there's no better way to start off a fun day, than with a great latte. LOL! |
Next we went to the nail salon to have manicures an extra-long hot rock massage. |
Just a little pampering for the birthday girl. |
Then we stopped for a quick lunch where I had a couple of ROCK-star drinks waiting. She was going to need the extra energy for what awaited her next. |
Seriously.... what a name for Rock-climbing Gym!!! |
I had a little gift for her to open.... although her real gift was the experience. |
She had to have something to open. |
Party Rock is in house tonight! Everybody just have a good time! (Can you hear it??) |
Here she is- all suited up for her first climb! |
We had to master this figure-eight knot- it's essential to NOT dying on a climb! If you've done it before- you know.... 5 pairs of rope. |
Suzi's identifying marks. |
We learned how helpful chalk was on our climbs. |
Look at her! Amazing! |
Here I am, tethering her to the ground. |
Then it was my turn! I brought my camera up for the climb. Here I am at the top. It was a LONG way down! |
And on my way down! |
It was so much fun! I highly recommend it! |
Then it was time to leave. What a great day we had! Here is Suzi holding all of the rocks she got throughout the day on our adventures. |
Maybe a rock garden is in her future?? |
Oh... and there was one last rock that got left behind. It was the sweetest one too! I'll have to give it to her sometime soon! Happy Birthday Suzi! I love you! |
