High Adventure fun


Last month  Little A and Sweet Pea were off track.  Which means hubby likes to take them on fun adventures.  I have a bunch of climbers in my family so hubby took them to Consumnes River Gorge.  Just from looking at these pictures, I'm glad I didn't go.  Hubby came home saying that Little A was banished from going on these kinds of adventures until he's older.  He wants to do everything the big kids do and really, ability wise, he's capable, he just doesn't have the maturity to think things through before he does them.



Here we traveled up to Placerville to a place where hubby and the kids could bike and I could run.



Hmmm.....A little too happy in front of this sign!

 

Mr. E and Liv's latest adventures include Rock Climbing.  One of the perks to home schooling is to use our school funds on things that we normally wouldn't be able to afford.  This counts for their P.E. class.  They both love it and Mr. E is really good!  


My adventure now includes training for a half marathon.  The Parkway Half, the one I've done for the last 3 years.   As usual, I really slacked over the holidays.   Couple that with bad weather and it's been slow going.  To help increase my speed, I'm trying to incorporate more weight training so I've enlisted the help of a personal trainer.  Thankfully, hubby was more than happy to take on the job as I think he likes to see me suffer.  Because if I even mutter the phrase, " I'm sore"  his response is always, "Good!"  The first time  we worked my legs, I could barely get out of bed the next morning.  Going down the stairs was extremely painful.  The day after doing arms.  I could barely lift them.  I have a feeling that I'm going to be mad at my husband a lot over the next 8 weeks!

I am impressed with you I am trying to run again. I am hoping to get outside soon. I hate the treadmill. You are amazing
