My daughter and I live in Louisville but visit The Children's Museum of Indianapolis a couple of times a year. One of our most memorable visits was in response to a Facebook challenge from the musuem for spring break week. We drove to the museum eager to be the first to post a picture of a sucessful climb on the rock wall. Only my daughter had never climbed the rock wall. And as I am not the least bit athletic, she looked very anxious when she learned that her mom was going to be the one holding the ropes as she climbed. I admit that I was a little anxious to learn that I was the one holding the ropes for my daughters climb! We watched as other children, tried and failed. And then it was Annabelle's turn. She kept saying, I trust you mom, I trust you to hold the ropes! And I was her biggest cheerleader telling her she could do it. We cheered each other on. And we had a GREAT musuem worker who helped guide her. Annabelle did not give up. She kept climbing. It was one of the proudest moments in both of our lives when she reached the top of the wall! We could not wait to drive home and post the picture!! Although, as I recall, I think we actually did the wrong challenge that week!
