This last week, my boss signed my lab group up for a ropes course at Camp Seymore and I have to admit that it was a lot of fun. We started off with some “getting to know you” games which normally, I despise due to my anti-social nature but they were actually quite enjoyable. That was then followed by some low ropes courses where we swung on ropes and were caught by co-workers, as well as fit all of us on a see-saw and a very small box. All of this happened before lunch.
After lunch, we started the high ropes courses which were 30 feet in the air. The first one was essentially an obstacle course to reach the top.
The first picture was taken about half-way up and I was really tired. Funnily enough though, it was a great place for Rick to take a shot and I was surprisingly chipper. The second picture was taken when I was nearing the top.
Overall, I think it was time worth spent. I feel like I know my co-workers a lot better, and I made it to the top despite the fact that I never exercise (which I know I should). However, there was a price. I have been extremely sore the past couple days and my arms are purple and blue due to the severe bruises I received while climbing.












You should write a post about you being on the news! Maybe there’s a stream of the video from their website…or…something. I dunno. Could be fun. You were great! The reporter guy didn’t seem to know too much about what was going on, though hehe.
