Outdoors

Well, it has been a long summer of surgical recovery. We finally decided to get out of the house and try our hand at a sport that my body would allow me to do, fishing. Sara, John and I had a great spot on the river. All the people floating by on their boats were pulling fish in as fast as they could cast out. We on the other hand had a lovely evening eating a delicious picnic I had packed and practiced casting for a couple hours. I may not have even got a bite, but I will go back. I loved it. Not really even sure what I would have done if I would have actually caught something. But sitting on that rock, listening to the water rush by and enjoying my surroundings has me hooked. Fishing anyone?

Another weekend outing took us up the McKenzie river as well. This time in search of a rock climbing wall. Unfortunately we never did find that wall but Susie, Adam, Kaia, Sara and I had a lovely drive in the woods. Once we figured out where we took a wrong turn we decided it was too late in the day to set up a climbing adventure. Thank goodness we had a rockin' game of Monopoly waiting for us at home.
