Monkey Hardware - Tree Climbing!!


The Scherden's neighbor, Franz, has developed and patented equipment for climbing trees!  Last Saturday he asked the guys to go and try it out!  It is a short drive from their home.  Emily, Grace and I dropped the guys off and picked them up a couple of hours later.  When we went back, Grace and Emily joined in the fun.  Franz has sold the equipment to many countries here in Europe.  Just this month he went to Washington, D.C. to work on a climbing park there.  

 Jackson....with a big smile and ready to climb.
 Grace  had fun, but didn't climb up too far.  She like swinging around on the rope more.
 Jackson did great...climbed all the way up and rang the bell.

 I think Jackson enjoyed rappelling down as much as climbing up.
 Even Don gave it a try.
 Emily turns out to be quite a climber!  She said she just didn't look down.
 Emily made it all the way to the top and rang the bell.
 What a cute tree-climber.
 Franz giving Grace an upside-down ride on the ropes.
 Jason tried climbing using an ice pick to grab hold.
 The setting....a beautiful German forest.
 This is Franz...He was so nice to take us tree climbing!
