What A Great Time We Had Rock Climbing!

 After we got all geared up and harnessed we were given instruction on how to belay for our partner.  It's a little to scary to think that I hold someone else's safety in my hands.After a bit of practice, belaying does get easier, but it is definitely not instinctive motions.  The fun part is actually climbing up the wall. As I learned, using your legs is way more important than using your arms. I used my arms to pull up instead of using my legs to push myself up. My forearms ached for days!  "Take!" I yelled to my belayer as a signal I was ready to come down.  As he lowered me slowly to the ground, I realized how far up I had actually climbed! What a sense of accomplishment! The great part about this rock climbing place is the self belay. When you are ready to get down, you let go and it feels as if you are flying! That was a great feeling!Those people that weren't climbing were there to socialize. There was a great spread of food like fruit and veggies, as well as cookies and brownies. After climbing for a bit, it was good to refuel and spend sometime getting to know new members and reconnecting with people  I hadn't seen in a while! The funniest part was when a group of guys decided to make a human pyramid. Such a guy thing to do! Maybe they got the idea from the giant Jenga  that was being played.  Those of us that went to the after event had a great time getting to know each other as well. Overall, it was a really fun night! Events And Adventures Dallas

When Was The Last Time You Went Rollerskating?

I was in junior high the last time I roller skated.  Disco ball, parachute pants and zipping around the rink with pals. Change from zipping around to being zipped around and swap the parachute pants for jeans and I’d swear we were there again.  How fun! Most of us skated on roller skates or blades as kids and we did it again this week. It was a work out. Those skates weigh way more than I remember. We had a great group that kept coming back to a corner where we’d laugh, tease and talk. I was surprised that more than 20 people went to the pub after skating on a week night. We definitely worked up an appetite. That and we were having so much fun no one wanted to go home! Events And Adventures Dallas
 

Murder At The Juice Joint!

 It was the Chief in the bar with a gun. How fun! We did our own murder mystery dinner and had a spectacular Italian dinner catered. The 20s theme was a blast (get it?) and there was just enough attitude and sass to make it competitive.  Having a smaller group is good sometimes so we can get to know people better. Even if they are in character most of the time. Almost everyone was in costume and we teased each other about how our 20s accents weren’t so great. How fun to reach into our inner detective and gangster. Good teamwork! When’s the next one?
