Mr. Kates goes to the Crag

Mr. Kates class went to the Crag in BBurg tonite for a 9 week celebration. I was the belayer for an endless line of stinky 5th graders trying (at vastly varying levels of competence) to climb the simulated indoor cliff to the top. Bryson totally rocked at it, zooming to the top and touching the plastic lizard (I don't know why) and then trusting his father would not drop him as he launched from his perch. Mr. Kates wore shorts showing off his cool tattoo.

Bryson casually mentioned something about Mr. Kates winning money...I looked it up:

Just a little Milken Educator award... dude. No wonder Bryson finds his class challenging.
