On my spring
break I did lots of different and fun activities, but to explain my whole
spring break would take way too long so I'm just going to sum it up in a couple
hundred words. Here we go. On the first weekend of spring break we went to Mt
baldy and skied for the weekend. On Saturday my mom went to Kelowna and picked
up my cousins (Connell and Kingsley) who live in Armstrong. My uncle drove them
to Kelowna and my mom drove them the rest of the way to Mt Baldy. We skied till
Monday and went down to our house Tuesday morning. Sometime that day we ended
up talking about rock climbing somehow and we decided that’s what we were going
to do the next day. The only problem with this otherwise great idea was that we
only had one harness. So we looked around and found some webbing that we could
make a harness out of. Once we had the pieces cut to the proper lengths we
started sewing them together with the strongest thread we could find which just
happened to be dental floss (No joke). After a few hours of sewing we had a
harness that actually looked pretty good. The next morning we went rock
climbing with it and it worked fairly well. The one thing that was wrong with
it was that it wasn’t very comfortable. Well that’s what I was told because I
got to use the fancy store bought one. Me and Connell spent the rest of the
week climbing various cliff faces and such. It was fun. Connell and Kingsley
left that Sunday because they had to go back to school. Their spring break
started a week before ours. I spent the next week just hanging out and climbing
with my brother. On the last weekend of spring break we went up to Mt Baldy
again. We entered in the cardboard box race on Saturday and we didn’t win
anything but it was still fun. On Sunday I entered in the slush cup and that
was really fun. I got pretty wet but I’m still going to go in it next year. After
that we went home and got ready for school the next day. Well that pretty much
sums up my spring break and it was definitely one that went by way too fast.
Thanks for reading.
