Story Continued...

I'm back :-)
Baseball for my little princess was cancelled, didn't find out until we got there :-(
I bundled up the little bundles of joy... I'm talking winter coats and all, off we went to baseball. I had checked my email before we left, thinking it might be cancelled due to weather (it was starting to rain). Didn't get an email...
Anyhow, off we went, when we got to the park, I had a parent letting me know that it was cancelled. It was like playing broken telephone as each parent passed the message on to another parent, as they rolled into the parking lot.
Kind of glad it was cancelled... going to quickly finish up my blog and hang out with ME Love :-)

Okay, navigation; Rattle Snake Point, story continued...
I met up with some of the team members: Beverly-Ann, Tracey, Amy, Susie, and Shane.
Missed the rest of the team :-(
We were each given a compass and were introduced to Brian who taught us the basics of navigation, using a map and compass, also paying close attention to our surroundings.
It was interesting to say the least trying to absorb all the information that was given but once we got out there and were given the opportunity to give it a go, it was sm-oo-th sailing... yah right!!!
I have to admit, it was fun, and we (the gal's) had a great time making light of the fact that we, at most times, were just not getting it.
Every time I thought I was understanding what I was doing, Brian was there to point me in the right direction... by asking us questions and helped us correct what we were doing wrong.
We stayed on track, for the most part.
A couple of times we had to split up into two groups, one group went through tall grass. Which to me sounds like this --- tall grass + me = SNAKES!!!
Soooooo, I stuck to the path... little did I know that the second time around, I would be going through the tall grass, just to be fair.
I have to admit, this was my least fun moment.
I was in no state of mind to pay any attention to my map, let alone compass. I just wanted to get the F*!K out of the grass, swampy thingie as fast as I could without falling.
All I remember is Beverly-Ann and Brian ahead of me and Shane some where behind me... we're all running, pretty sure for different reasons.

Today, Shane sent out the video of the navigation adventure.
I thought, I've got to do my blog, kept putting it off... now it's done!!!
Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy :-)

We meet again this Thursday for our bike adventure!!!
Let the fun continue...
