WOW Weekend, My second Year

Hello again!!!
Hope you all had a great few days!  Since school has started I feel like we have had so much to do, and I thought that we would get a little break once the girls were back in school, hahaha

Although I did have a small break and travelled north with a few awesome ladies!  Our WOW  Weekend was fun, better then last year!  The OFAH puts this weekend on to encourage women to get out doors and to try new things!  I found it very relaxing, even though there was no down time. lol.  There's nothing like being caught on a lake in a catamaran (2 canoes tied together with sticks) and a storm blows in.  Paddling against the wind and rain to get back to shore is something I will probably never do again.  To me it got a bit wavy.  Thankfully it was a smaller lake (but it was big enough for me)  Personally, I pretended that I was in a dragon boat race to get my mind off it all,lol!  (i have only been i a canoe a few times) What a work out!!! 

The beginning of our adventure.

Once again, my first cast!!!  Two years in a row on my first cast I caught a fish

I love Bass fishing!!!

Carrie's first catch of the day!!!   Love the Seaforth Rain Gear,  (from my home town)

The rain started but that didn't stop us from fishing!

When we got back to shore.  Still Smiling

The sauna was get!!!

I need me a pair of these!

Our last morning.  What a view!!! 

I got my nerve up to go ring the bell.

Now i truly get it, why Chris loves to hunt.  As soon as I parked my behind in the tree stand all my worries in life washed away, but only for a few minutes.

Until then,  Kendall oxox

What I fell in LOVE with

Hi to everyone!!!   As you know I had my first weekend away from my family ever. Where did I go you are wondering?   Up was up north in Minden, about 5 hours north.  My family and I are O.F.A.H members.  Which is Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.  You have to be a member to take part in the W.O.W Weekend,  the Women's Outdoor Weekend. 

So during my weekend one of the activities we could chose from was the high ropes.  As I was watching other ladies go up I got anxiety, which was crazy because I was looking forward to this.   I was happy on the ground cheering on the other ladies.  But then there was a lady who was terrified of heights. Her goal was to climb half way. She made it to the top of the pole. Passed her goal, but then she started  to panic, not nice :(.  I felt so bad. I had a little chat with her and she change my mind. I needed to try this out. I may never get to do this again.  Its right here in front of me and if I go home with out doing this I would regret it.  (I know I would).  It was my turn.

Climbing up the pole. It was two stories high.

Getting to the top of the pole my heart started racing, just a bit.

Racing just a little bit more. this is when I then looked down a few times. I tryed my best not too. Getting on to those two last staples were hard. There was nothing to hold on to but the rope.

I was shakey stepping up.

It took me a few seconds to get up on these last two staples. But I did it!!!   And my GOAL was to stand on top of the hydro pole, not the staples.

The feeling of accomplishment!!!

Still have to stand on top!!!   This was the hardest part!!!

I DID IT!!!   I know you can't see it, but my legs are together. I'm on top of the world!!!  I had to count to 3 then jump out about 5/6 feet to hit a bouye with my hand.

I DID IT!!!!!!!  

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS!!!!

I know I'll be doing this again!!!  Can't wait for the next challange!

Thank you Sue for harnessing me up and then taking these great pictures!

Have a great Day!!!

Well as you know from my last post on Monday I promised you some pictures, but that was for Tuesday.  I was not into it:(  I was so darn tired!   My weekend was AWESOME!!!!!    Thank you W.O.W  Weekend.   See you next year!!!
Well here's a run down of my trip.  Last Thursday night Chris drove me to my moms, where I got picked up Friday morning at 6:30 sharp. (thanks Nicole for coming to get me!)   Drove to Guelph where we then picked up Carrie.  She drove from there.  We got to our destination at 12:30. (just in time for lunch)  There was a BBQ waiting for us and for all the other ladies attending.   We checked in made it to our cabin.  We were the porcupine cabin. hahaha.  For the first time I think ever I truly felt like I was a kid again.   Oh and my mother same thing, the last words that came out of her mouth were "Have fun at summer camp" :)  Have fun!  LOL!
   

We first ventured to the sling shot range. (I had not done this in years, lol)  I also hit 1out of 3 targets:)
