The chaos of
our schedule of late has caused great tension in my household. Family
obligations, meetings and sporting events have left little time for recreation.
We awoke early Sunday morning to escape the piles of laundry and head to Family
day at a nearby camp. A day of outdoor recreation seemed to be what my family
needed and we were excited for the mini-break.
Picnic
packed, we hit the road. Only a half an hour behind schedule for the one hour
drive… Not bad considering we had to dig the summer clothes out of storage.
Being
first-timers to Family Day we were not sure exactly what to expect. Dennis and
I kept an open mind, we were just happy to share in the girls’ excitement for
the activities. As we pulled in the girls discovered a climbing wall and scaling
the climbing wall became top on their list. We had a quick discussion of available
activities and made a list of priorities.
After a
quick attempt at the climbing wall, it was our turn for the trail ride. That is
when the real adventure began…
