My Blog
Weeds is back for Season 3!! I LOVE this show. It has to be one of the funniest things on TV. The language is awful, the mother is a drug dealer - but I can't keep from laughing. Really makes you wonder what happens in your nice, seemingly normal town....
Ok - so I suppose the title of this blog may be considered false advertising by some of you. I have discovered a new way to "get high" - rock climbing!! I have gone 3 times in the past week to an indoor rock climbing gym about an hour from my home. What fun!!!! It is not only enjoyable, but a fantastic workout as well. I hope to become good enough to one day use my skills outside of the gym to climb natural rock walls.
Well...I am at summer camp with my son's Boy Scout troop this week. We arrived yesterday afternoon and are starting to get into the swing of things today. We have already seen some wildlife, and no, I don't just mean our 11 scouts. :-) The visitors to our campsite last night included 2 deer, several mice and a raccoon, all in very close proximity to our tents. I was only about 5 feet away from the raccoon, he was very cute, but didn't seem bothered by us at all. The boys have a very full week of merit badge classes ahead of them, as well as, all of the cooking and cleaning duties around camp. My friends aren't quite sure why I consider this my vacation, but I love it. I get to spend a week with my kid and his friends in the woods, relaxing and even learning a few new things.
Well, I made it back from the raft trip and I have to say it was quite possibly the most fun I have EVER had in my entire life!!!! What a rush!! Out scout troop is already talking about taking another trip in October and I can't wait. I did get thrown from the raft a few times, but I did pretty well over all. We went downriver 8 miles through about 20 rapids many of which were class 3 and 4 and ever a couple class 5s. If you ever get a chance to go - take it!!!
I'm leaving this afternoon to go on a whitewater rafting trip in West Virginia. My 12 year old son and I will be joining other members of his Boy Scout Troop for a trip down the New River near Fayetteville, WV. I've never been rafting, so I'm very excited and a bit aprehensive. I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!!! :)
