This weekend, my family and I went to the Boat Club, which sounds a lot more fancy than it really is. It's a private campground on a reservoir in the middle of southern Alberta. I've been going every year of my life, but a lot of new things happened this time...
Some of these things are honestly pretty gross (you've been warned). I witnessed a pig's legs being sawed off, I learned how to fillet a fish by watching it happen to 3 poor walleye, and found a bird's wing which was really sad but also kind of cool? So I think at this point I can safely say that I am a true woman of the wilderness (hahaha jk I was definitely way uncomfortable the whole time).
My firsts weren't all disgusting, although they were quite embarrassing: I tried water skiing. And knee boarding. LET ME TELL YOU, it is harder than it looks. Maybe I should have realized this beforehand, but both of these activities require balance and upper-body strength, both of which I have a serious lack... But while I couldn't make it up on either, I got REALLY close on the knee board until I fell over, which is better than I thought I'd do! I'm also super proud of myself for at least trying. That water is bone-achingly cold and I've always been too scared to try. It's a small accomplishment for me!
While we're on the subject of firsts, this ^^ happened a week or so ago. I ran (but mostly walked) my first 5k with my best friend. It was so much fun running around my city getting blasted with colour! It's made me want to start running... We'll see how that goes...
xoxo,
Kaitlyn
