Climbing Competition

Trigg has been climbing with the Competition Team at Climb Iowa and has been loving it! The spring season is top rope competitions while the fall is bouldering.

Our home gym, Climb Iowa, hosted this competition.

Trigg starting off on the white route

and topping out on that same route!

The way these competitions work, the athletes stay in isolation until it is their turn to climb. They are brought out with their backs to the walls and not allowed to look at the route until it's their turn to climb. They get 15 minutes to climb or until they fall off the wall and they get points for each hold they reach! Trigg is getting tied into the blue route.

Climbing!

Let's Go!

 Trigg has really been enjoying being on the climbing team and he is getting better and better on the routes! It's fun to watch him try new things and figure out these competitions! Keep climbing bud!

Spring Break - part 2 - Bentonville

After hitting the snow in MN, we headed south to Bentoville, AR. Home and international head quarters of Wal-Mart. Our first stop was their town square to check out the Wal-Mart museum!

With a ride on the red truck

We headed to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, such a cool museum with a ton of cool art!

Taking in the art!

Giant metal dandelion

Garrett really liked this one; The Life of a Hunter

Trigg was a fan of this one

As we walked down this spiral staircase, above us was colored string that changed color around the circle!

Super cool

Blythe was a fan of the pop art

We headed outside to see more outdoor artwork like this giant spider!

LOVE

This pond was filled with these stainless steel spheres, called Narcissus Garden, so cool!

The next day, we headed out for a bike adventure, but before we got started, we fueled up with some crepes at Crepes Paulette!

So tasty and a great shop with friendly staff!

Highly recommended by this crew!

We rented some sweet mountain bikes in town and headed out on some trails. There are miles and miles of mountain bike trails through and around Bentonville, included some pretty fund bike parks!

Had some rollers!

Both on and off road!

Tubes to go through!

So many spots to explore!

Definitely a thumbs up for the mountain bike adventure!

G getting some speed!

Trigg hitting the rollers

Between the trees

And around the corners

Up and down the bridges!

Having fun!

Riding hard

We found this swing by one of the trails and took a break to swing a little

Brothers!

After the bike adventure, we stopped at this city park and found a stream at the back of the park!

Fun park to explore!

The next day, we headed to Climb Bentonville for a little indoor rock climbing!

This gym is huge and has a ton of fun options to climb. There was a massive "kids" area with so many options, including this climbable city!

Garrett getting to the top!

All 3 kiddos making their way up the wall!

Blythe had a ton of fun and was ready to climb more!

Trigg, trying out the tall walls!

G headed back to the city... just like Spiderman!

Trigg flexing his climbing skills!

We headed to Rogers to check out the Daisy Museum! It was fun and interesting... we also came home with a souvenir bb gun!

Next we headed to Railyard Park, still in Rogers. An old railyard converted into a huge playground!

Chill Bro!

This park was worth the pit stop, so fun!

As we headed home, we made one more stop. Tanyard Creek park in Bella Vista to check out the waterfalls

A short hike down the path and we found these amazing waterfalls!

We also found some pretty amazing hiking sticks!

Gorgeous! The waterfalls were pretty good too!

All and all, we had a blast in Bentonville and would highly recommend it! We would go again and do more mountain biking, eat more good food and see things we missed the first time!
