Intro to Rock Climbing

 We headed over to the Boston Rock Gym in Woburn, Ma and took an introductory rock climbing course. This place was pretty cool, the auto-belay devices are really neat, kids loved being able to clip themselves in and climb a whole bunch of different spots.

Hiking at Breakheart

Went for a nice quick 3 mile hike at Breakheart Reservation before heading over to Trader Joe's. Perfect light coating of snow.

Essex County Elementary School XC Champtionships

Amazing day at Gannon Golf Course in Lynn. Kids ran the the .71 mile XC course in awesome time, never giving up, pacing themselves at the beginning and passing people all the way through. Perfect results winning medals (they only gave medals for the first 10 places) each getting 10th place. So proud of how great they did.

Lynn Woods Fall hike

Went for a nice 4 mile loop in Lynn Woods as a family on a beautiful fall Saturday. Got to walk down into Dungeon Rock and up Stone Tower, someone must open them up on the weekends. Pretty Cool. Ran with both kids down the back side single track of Stone Tower, all the way from the top.
