one adventure at a time."


They have  things like:
Segway Tours
(my new favorite thing ever!!!)
Rock Climbing, Kayaking,
Ropes Courses, Rafting,
Mountain Biking &

Canopy Tours
(which Shoshanna's Adam leads... you climb trees in the Community Forest to platforms and zip line between them! Wow. See below...)

   I hope your summer is going swimmingly so far... mine is full of lots of dancing & play with my little Amira. I'm looking forward to a very busy fall and am trying to get so much done now. But it's so easy to procrastinate! :-)
Hope to see you sometime soon...
Happy dancing, Shoshanna
