Just kidding. We did however dogsit for
a full week, and took our job very seriously. The majority of our
week was simply filled with going on runs and walks with Fynn. This
was actually a really good experience for us as our time dogsitting
made us recognize that we are not ready for the responsibility of
caring for a living creature. Fynn not only needed to be walked twice a
day but also needed to be fed twice a day and had to be let out to go
to the bathroom. As Chris said, “How are you ever supposed to leave
the house?” Not to mention neither one of us enjoyed picking up
dog feces and having to carry it around until we saw a trashcan. So
we probably won't be getting our own dog any time soon, but we sure
had fun getting on some trails with Fynn.
This week we also spent a fair amount of time in the kitchen. After all, I had gallons on gallons of berries to deal with. So,
We made fruit leather for hiking snacks...

And freezer jam!
We also had the
opportunity to take advantage of a sunny day and get some climbing
in. We both really wanted to climb at a place called the Sea Cliffs
(it's super beautiful and you can only climb it when the tide is low
or there will be no place for the belayer to stand). After spending
some time bushwhacking and searching for the climbs we were
disappointed when they were finally found. All the bolts were
completely rusted and although some rusted bolts can still be
ok to fall on, it's impossible to tell which ones so we decided not
to risk it. *We're more saftey cautious than most of you think - take
a moment here to just be proud of us.*
There was a climb that was just off the road which we saw driving to the Sea Cliffs so we decided to do a quick climb there before heading home.
Other than all
that our week was filled with lots of work, math homework, and yoga
(I'm trying to get into it, and this was a good week as far as
actually taking the time – Naomi should be proud). Oh, and we
watched a really cool documentary called Breaking Ice with our
friends Ben and Camille. Yah, we like glaciers.
