Hansen Family Homepage: Women's Day

What a GREAT start to the weekend! A couple of my girlfriends and I participated in the Sioux Falls Women's Day at the Outdoor Campus. Such a great idea and so much fun! (Even in the scorching heat!) What is Women's Day you ask? Well naturally I am going to tell you! (haha)

So, basically, the point of Women's Day is to allow all women to try new activities that are typically geared towards men or typically men participate in. (don't get me wrong, there are many wonderful outdoor-sie women out there and I give each and everyone of you so much credit!) I have to say, this was such a great time because we got to try things I personally would have never a) thought to do or b) just gone out and tried on my own.

Here is the list of the actives you could try:

Canoeing

Kayaking

Geocashing

BB Gun shooting

Archery

Pellet Gun shooting

Camp Cooking

Fishing

Going into the event, I really had no expectations of the day only because I really am not an "outdoor-sie" type of person... But let me tell you, it was spectacular! AND... I got to shoot a gun for the first time :-) (well, a BB and pellet gun, but hey.. it's a gun)

All four of us in our little group decided to try: kayaking, BB gun shooting, archery, pellet gun shooting and camp cooking. I would have to say my favorite was kayaking... BUT the peanut butter/marshmallow/chocolate chip tortilla burrito we made on the camp fire came in a VERY close second! (they were to die for!! and let me tell you, that took me by surprise)

To be perfectly honest, all the activities were a ton of fun and a great experience... Not to mention I was with some pretty fun women which just made the morning perfect!

Here are a few pictures from our "adventure" at Outdoor Campus

Do I look like a pro?
