Freedom to Play

School is over for a few weeks, and I have been able to enjoy a little of my free time (apart from the fact that I haven't moved from the couch today, as I am currently sick). Last weekend I headed up to Puritan Creek with some friends to see if any of us could remember how to climb after a long winter of skiing. Some of us seemed a little less rusty than others, I was definitely one of the "others". The weather started out promising, but deteriorated to hale, rain, and snow with temperatures in the 30s!
