Fjord en arbre

"I've never thought of you as a climber; I never knew you could climb!"
Excellent words to hear after signing up for the treetop adventure. The greatest. Yeah, it's not like I was a little hesitant about signing up for an activity that involves rock climbing and ropes and ziplines and bridges suspended high above the ground. I don't need a boost in my confidence or anything. Haha, oh Anna, just the words I wanted to hear.
So, today was the first official day of classes at the college, and we signed up for the activities we want to take part in during the program. I signed up for whale watching, river rafting, a trip to Québec City, a theatrical presentation, and.... Fjord en arbre - the "treetop adventure". Hopefully that adventure will be a positive one. Hopefully I get past my lack of upper body strength and have fun in the trees! We'll see how that one goes....

  1. Doesn't all that cello playing provide you with some upper body strength? Or at least some kind of a confidence booster?

    Can't wait to see if we should nickname you monkey or something like that?
    In french that would be.....?

    thanks for the great visual to make me smile sweetie

  2. Singe. Oooh eeeh aaah aaah oooh oooh.
    Tree tops sound fun. Sounds like a mixture of all our camp activities, minus the whales.

  3. Sadly, the cello doesn't do as much for my upper body strength as I wish. Sigh.
    And I don't think anyone needs to be calling me singe just yet... haha. There were actually a lot of "ponts de singe" in the trees though!
    Now wouldn't it be sweet if we could bring whales to camp? That would make the lake a lot more exciting. Except then the whales would die and we'd be left with stinky carcasses.
