Our Immediate Family

Our family has a variety of interests, some of them individual and some of them shared.
Together, we : |
|
- Travel often, at least twice a year
- Hike, especially with our dog
- Go camping
- Go canoeing
- Go fishing, either freshwater or salt water, and often flyfishing
- Go swimming, often at a resort in the lakes region, where we have a membership
- Go biking, though some of us do mountain biking, and at least one of us prefers flat ground
- Watch TV and movies
- Use our ATV in the woods, though it is currently in need of repair
- Go skiing and snowboarding, though at least one of us prefers cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing on flat ground
- Go skating - ice and inline blading
- Eat out, especially at Olive Garden, Longhorn's, or Chinese buffets

Individually, we have our own interests, some of them shared, but also many things we like to do alone, for refreshment and quiet time.
