They, along with another friend Josh, bought us a crash pad as a wedding gift. For those of you that don't know what it is, a crash pad is what saves you from breaking anything when you fall while rock climbing.
We had a great weekend as you can see.
Pawtuckaway State Park...where we did all our climbing. The weather was great and the scenery wasn't too bad either!
We went bouldering, which means you don't use any ropes (hence the crash pad), but you also don't go as high as you would if you were roped up...at least in theory you don't. On a few of these rocks, the problem wasn't getting up, it was finding a way down!
One of the 2 campsites we stayed at. We did a combo of tent camping and car camping.
Scott did a lot of climbing. Here he is taking a little break. I think we were all ready for one at this point!
We stumbled upon a pick-your-own strawberry farm on the way out of the park. None of us had ever seen strawberries so red and fresh. We just had to stop and pick some.
You can see more pics of this at www.tamemytummy.blogspot.com
Scott got the fun job of carting the crash pad and all the gear...
But because of that I was able to climb with more energy!
Let's just say this weekend got us so excited to be in the outdoors. I think this is just the beginning of many more trips like this!

I like your combination of bouldering,, picking strawberries, and eating lobster. We heard that was a part of the weekend also. What a way to go camping!
Aren't pick-your-own strawberry farms fun? I could send you a recipe for strawberry pie, but then I imagine the strawberries are long gone by now.
Glad you had such a good holiday with Kirk and Krupa,

Hey Chris & Scott,
Just got back from a week in Michigan so I am catching up on the blogs. Your 4th weekend looked awesome my bike rides and runs in Michigan seem so lame. Last time I saw people picking strawberries all of theri butts were sticking up in the air --yours looked much cuter.
The apartment looks great!!! I love the new art work - what great memories. Miss you guys -- have a great week.
LV,
Aunt Carol
