This morning I got to spend an hour on a climbing wall- you know, those (comparatively) super-safe indoor walls with handholds bolted into the wall every few feet. I actually didn’t do as much climbing as it sounds- only 3 … Continue reading

I’m not sure if this exactly counts as fitness, but this afternoon I went horseback riding. I was invited to go with one of my cousins, her husband, and her two daughters, and I had a blast. I was on … Continue reading

canoeing, balloons, and stuff

Today we went canoeing, which was lots of fun. The retreat where we are staying has a small reservoir and a dozen or so canoes, and myself and my extended family took over all of them. I was in a … Continue reading
