Happy 21st Birthday JR!!!
For JR's 21st B-Day we went to Planet Rock
in Pontiac, MI. We spent ALL day trying to master every wall. Johnny, AKA Spiderman, I think had an advantange because he used to do roofs!!!

We all had a great time!

SPIDERMAN!!!!

Even Spiderman needs a break!
WE WILL NEVER FORGET THIS PARTICULAR WALL! We must've all tried to conquer this wall 10 times each!!! Though Sarah, Tess, and Johnny did it! That handle was SO hard to get to!
Let's take a damn break, already!

After climbing for hours on end, we headed for the best food possible after such strenuous physical activity~ McDonald's!

L-R: Johnny, Gerald, Tess and B-Day Boy JR
Group Shot!

L-R: Tess, Johnny, JR, Adam, and Sarah

Climbing all day, we learned that it was easier for the smaller, more compact people, then it was for the BIG GUYS we were with (no names mentioned!).
And also, the girls had an easier time because we balance through our hips, and we were smarter~ using our legs to kick us up, rather then using our arm muscles to pull us up.
Group Shot Part 2!

So- yes, we were HIT after this little all-day adventure!
We dragged our feet back to the hotel, chowed on some food, took showers, and somehow got our bodies to boogie down at Emerald Ballroom later that night!
Boogie Downers: (L-R) Tess, Adam, Sarah, JR, Cortney Dustin, Andrea, and ? I couldn't decide which pic to put in, so I put  BOTH! LOL!
One of the cool cooks at Beni-Hana! He did some cool tricks with the food- chopping, tossing, etc. Tommy couldn't stop watching him!
Mom and Dad took us all out to dinner at the Beni-Hana in Dearborn, MI.
JR and I enjoyed some Japanese beer (heh, heh~ see our pink cheeks?). You can almost see what kind of beer in the pic of Cort and JR above.

Right: (l-r) Cort, JR, Tess, Tommy, Mom and Dad
This was a particularly tough wall- check out how it angles out a bit, that's all upper body right there!! OUCH!
