Silver Dollar City, Backpacking and Climbing

Tonight we headed to an indoor climbing gym with some friends so I was downloading pictures and thought I would post a few from the weekend and our trip to Silver Dollar City a few weeks back.  This fall has been busy with three different schools for the kids and all their activities.
On the way to Branson we stopped in Springfield and visited the Discovery Center.   Tommy loves Bob the Builder and was very excited to get to try this out.
Jim and Madeleine on a fun ride at Silver Dollar City where you pull yourself up the tower  as it spins.
Tommy was too little for most rides but he loved the hopping frogs.  He kept saying hoppy, hoppy.  They really do hop.
We tried to go back to ride the train on Sunday for Tommy because the line had been too long the day before.  But they were having some technical difficulties so instead we got this picture and made some candles.
Jim took Madeleine on a backpacking trip last night.  I have always wanted to do that and now Madeleine has done it before me.  They had a great time even though they had to hike back today in the rain.

Tonight we went with friends to an indoor climbing gym.  Tommy was all excited at first but then after his first attempt he wanted his harness off and just ran around.
That's Hadley on the wall... pretty impressive for having a broken arm and only having her cast off for a week.  She is wearing a splint for the next few weeks for any activities.
Madeleine is in the white in the picture.  She loves to climb and really enjoyed it tonight.
