A few weeks back when I brought the boys to The rock school Monkey boy attempted climbing this pink wall outside. This is the most challenging wall in the outdoor rock climbing setup. As you can see there is a 45 degree incline obstacle which he would have to overcome to scale the wall. I was very impressed with his ability to scale the wall on his first attempt. He was the only one out of the group of children who was allowed to climb this wall.
As you can see from the photo above there were 3 different rock climbing walls with yellow being the easiest and moving up in difficulty to the pink wall.
Doggie boy too scaled the wall but he stuck to the easier climb on the yellow wall.
This week I’m upping the tempo with one of my favourites Jingle Bell Rock
Questions:
1. Tomorrow I’m going to _________?
celebrate Doggie boy’s 5th birthday. It will be a week long celebration for him.
2. Pudding or Jello?
I would say pudding. Mango pudding is my favourite.
3. What book are you currently reading?
The veil. I will be doing a book review on it later this week.
4. What is the first concert you went to see?
Sammi Cheung at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. She still rocks after all these years.
5. What is your current weather?
Hot and rainy. It’s practically like that the whole year round.

I would love to live where the weather stays warm. Mango jello! I have never heard of that flavor. Is it tart?

Hi Dominique. I’m sitting here reading your answers while listening to Billy Idol sing ‘Jingle Bell Rock.’

A week long Birthday celebration – it sounds like you’re going to be very busy. Have fun!
Like Karen, I’ve never heard of Mango pudding either but, it sounds delicious.
What a contrast in weather – hot and rainy there – cold and snowy here in Canada.
Have a wonderful week of celebration, my friend!

Billy Idol singing Jingle Bell Rock, now that’s different. lol. Oh girl, you’re a much bravier mommy than me to let your little fellow climb that wall. I’d be biting my nails, if I were watching such a thing. Kids are so fearless, though.
You know, I’ve never heard of mango pudding, either. I’m assuming this is not a Jello brand, right? It sounds yummy, though.
Hot & rainy…well, I hate hot weather and I hate cold weather. I like it when the temperature is in-between, like early fall. But, I do enjoy the change of seasons so I’ve gotta stick out the extreme conditions of summer & winter.
Have a good day!

That has to be the most subdued Billy Idol I’ve ever seen! It’s a great version of the song, though.
I checked out Sammi Cheung on youtube. It was a song called Peace of Mind, I believe. She has a great voice.
Have a great week celbrating and best birthday wishes to your brave little guy!

I didn’t play along this week, but I never eat jello.. It always reminds me of being sick. In fact, when I was a little girl, about six, I once went to a friends house and her brother was eating Jello. I came home and told my mom he must have been sick… She had to explain that jello was actually a real desert… Ah, memories. I host a Friday Fill-In Blog Hop I would love if you could check it out…
