Tree climbing - Accrobranche Hi, today i wan't to share a fun activity with you. In french it's name Accrobranche. I guess it's Tree climbing in english but I'm not so sure. Usually, I let my kids do that and I encourage them from the ground. It wasn't look very hard and when they're stuck, it's really easy to help them because the course isn't high. So few days ago, we decided to try it too with my wife... Well, when you are an adult, the course might could be very high (up to 10 meters from the ground) and you are by your own. In fact, when you are on the top of a tree, there is no other option than to move on :) I now realize how my kids are brave :D So first at all, you need some equipments - very close to the classical climbing cliffs - like carabiners, pulley, and of course a harness. Then, after a little briefing, here we go ! It's really safe because there is a 'life rope'. It means your carabiner can't jump off of the rope so even if you fall, you will be retaining :) And now the fun part starts !! You have to climb and follow a course with many differents obstacles. There are some hornets so climb on, some wood bars to walking on, some skylines to cross, some stirrups to pass on, some barrels, some tiny trunk on upside down T shape, skate boards on a cable, etc. This activity is physical and it's different. The very next day, we had discovered some new muscles everywhere ^^ And at the end, the famous zip line !!! when you finish your course, that's the rest part. Zip line, is my favorite because you need to do nothing and you go fast :) And you, have you ever try it some ? :D Thanks for the reading and the correction ;)

Escape Game This week-end, with 3 of my oldest friends, we decided to do something different. And our final choice was a treasure's chase and an Escape game. I tried it for the first time of my life on Paris. So basically you've got one hour to escape yourself from a locked room. Here, it was a japanese room. We were supposed to leave the room before cops arrived ! No suspense at all: cops grabbed us, we didn't success this mission but we laugh a lot. No one had yelled and it was very funny to search for the same thing during that time. After more than 15 years, we are still on the same page. The hour goes very fast, in fact, you've got the feeling to receive the instructions of the chase from the game master, then she close the door and the very next minute, bim, she open it once again ! Well, after a quick check of the room, you can realize how messy you are when you are looking for something because we moved everything ! the painting, the tables, the banzais (like i said, it was a japanese appartement... ;D), all the drawing were open, the lock were on the floor, ... (you need to find some clues to resolve many riddles, and clues can be everywhere !) It was a fun experience and even if Platon said "you can learn more about a person during an hour of play than during a year of conversation", i know my friends very well so no one was suprise about our behavior :) Then we decided to pick up some drinks and the day was great ! So now, I will gonna say yes for an other escape game !!
