Super Monkey



It's a bird, it's a plane, it's slippery swine catchin, rock climbing Monkey -
What can I say? I have the best slippery swine catching grand-daughter EVER....This makes three out of four years that Kristy has been the WINNER. This girl KNOWS how to catch slippery pigs! She was in a group of 5, her and FOUR boys. And, she was wearing flip-flops, so she had to stop and put them back on because they fell off. She still got in there and showed those boys how it's done. Way to go Kristy!! You are awesome.
Then, she wasn't done showing off her strategic athletic abilities. She wanted to show us how to climb a rock wall. She got 2 tries to get to the top of a 25' wall and ring the bell. She didn't get very high on the first try, but that just made her more determined to do it. She just kicked off her flip flops and Christopher gave up his shoes and off she went to the top. She got stuck about half way up so she studied up and down the wall and finally made her plan. She got a grip in sight, used her legs and jumped up to grab the next handle and pulled herself up till she could get her footing. I was so amazed. Not only is she tough, but she is so smart, she planned that like a pro. I asked her afterwards if she was scared. She said "Yeah, I'm still shaking". I love that girl!
