2012 - October 28th Lathrop Corn Maze. Becoming a
tradition, Levi and I took two friends with us to the Lathrop Corn maze. Walked
through the three mazes, haunted house, and shot mini pumpkins. Nothing out of
the norm until Stevie and I decided to do the Jungle Gym Crazy Zip Line
Obstacle Course Thing. There I was agreeing to put on a harness, being
attatched to the safety line by a similar line and asking the lady “is this
safe?” to which she replied “these lines will hold a car no problem.” to which
I replied, “sure.” Yet, I walked, and climbed back and forth through the
different parts scared, nervous, but determined to make it to the end
regaurdless of the fact that I could technically fall to my death. And of
course, at the very end you “walk the plank” which means you step off a board
and FALL all the way back down to the ground. I had decided to climb back down,
but once at the end I bit the bullet and stepped off only letting out a tiny
squeal, kicking my legs, and closing my eyes until I hit the ground, fell, and
got back on my feet. I thank Stevie for doing it with me as I always wanted to
but needed a friend to accompany me. And, I thank Tyler for videotaping me
falling, including the squeal and kicking…
2013:
Camping!!!
I was lucky to go camping with friends this summer on more than one occasion...However, for the first time ever I went camping by myself (well, with my dog Kiko)! I even hiked 2 miles through wilderness to beautiful Lake Heisser (which was somewhat scary as my imagination kept picturing me being eaten by cougars and bears). I survived both the hike and the camping trip and felt proud that I actually did it!
Fishing!
Fishing is not new to me. However, it has been years since I really fished. I spent about a month and a half on the river this summer and loved it. Kiko loved it too. In all honesty though, I have to admit that I was never taught proper fish handling skills and probably killed more fish than I would have liked unknowingly... But I have done a lot of research and learned the proper skills. I will most definitely give these a try next summer and if I am able to release fish promptly without fussing - I will continue to enjoy this sport - if not, then at least I had one heck of a fun time this past summer!
Bartending School!!!
Partially as a side job idea and mainly to see if it was as much fun as it looked I went to bartending school! It was intense but only because I didn't know a darn thing about liquor! The first day of class when the instructor asked me what Jack Daniels was I said "tequilia?" Needless to say I learned a lot in 8 days and passed the written test with a 100%, and the "hands-on" test. Unfortunately I was too busy learning how to make drinks and memorizing what things were to really take any pictures. Here are a few drinks I made though with dyed water:
I guess that about sums up the "exciting" adventures I had in 2013. Hopefully I will update this blog more often from now on...
