An Adventurous Week for an Adventurous Kid...


Ashlynn had quite an exciting 11th birthday--she left that morning with her Year 6 (5th grade) class to go on a 4-night trip to the Belgian Ardennes mountains. Apparently she was embarrassed when she was called up front so everyone could sing to her, but she survived. She also survived all the adventure activities for the week, such as mountain biking for the first time and rock climbing. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a photo taken when on the most daring of the activities: climbing the telegraph pole and jumping off. Of course, she had on a harness; the goal was to grab a trapeze, which she managed to touch with one hand, but wasn’t able to hold on.
