Rainy Lake Ice Road

Rainy Lake Ice Road

Voyageurs National Park, MN

March 2, 2013

We traveled to the far north to play in snow and to drive on the Rainy Lake Ice Road:

Islands:

Looking out the van door to see a crack in the ice:

Parked in the middle of the lake for some winter exploring:

The girls are excited to get out and play:

Egypt was so excited to go sledding (this was her first time). I left Kellisa in the van because Egypt couldn't wait:

After a little sledding with Egypt, I got Kellisa ready and into her Wike. I then pushed Kellisa and pulled Egypt:

Sun setting:

I used the GPS to route our way back to the hotel while we were still on the ice and took this cool picture:

Just before driving back on land, I saw the Voyageurs National Park sign for the customary pictures (Egypt was a little chilled):

Kellisa and the Rock Wall

Abilities Expo

Atlanta, GA

February 9, 2013

I'm tempted to let the pictures below do all the talking:

Kellisa loved every second of her rock wall experience

Kellisa saw the rock wall from a distance and started saying, "me, me, me". Hard to believe, but this was a first for Kellisa and I have to admit that having her climb a rock wall wasn't even on my radar. Now that I know climbing can be adapted and seeing how much Kellisa enjoyed the adventure, my mind is racing with all the new possibilities.

 

I couldn't have been more proud of Kellisa. 

 

I apologize for the poor camera phone quality pictures. Lesson learned- you never know when an adventure will present itself!

 

A huge thanks to Catalyst Sports and the Abilities Expo- Atlanta for making this possible.
