Just before the end of the school year, Nyan’s classmate Riley had a birthday, so one Sunday morning in June we headed up to the climbing-wall place where we happened to have been for Kyle’s birthday earlier in the year.

Nyan got all geared up for climbing:

(Yep, that’s Jonnie, Jayden’s brother, waiting too.)

Then the climbing itself. Nyan didn’t last too long at that, frankly.

He (and many of the other boys) was far more interested in running around, yelling, goofing, play fighting, getting socks very dirty. Being little boys, basically.

Another highlight? Popping into the little shop at the climbing gym and discovering that they had some kids’ sunglasses on sale. Nyan just *had* to have them.
