Practice makes perfect


Quentin did an incredible job playing soccer again. He scored the first goal of the game for the Bulls. He was almost at half field charging to the goal when he became swarmed by the other team. He gave the ball a huge kick and it got nothing but net. If you look at the pictures under “Quentin’s soccer pictures” you will see the 3 pictures of his goal and congratulations from other teammates.

After the soccer game Jennifer and I wanted to freshen up our repelling skills for our trip in November. We are going to attempt (with 2 other people) Blue John Canyon. You may have heard of this canyon, this is where Aron Ralston got trapped and had to cut off his own arm to survive. The route we are going requires 4 repels with one of them being 65’.
Quentin, Jennifer and I piled into the car and drove to Evergreen and found the perfect wall to repel off of. Someone else had the same idea; they left 2 embedded anchors behind. After testing the anchors to make sure they would hold our weight, we were off.
