Safety First!

AO: the-knoll
Q: Wolfpack
PAX: morning stār, Sooie, g-string, Timber, El Capitan, Sparrow, Fish Biscuit, Tonks, Bumblebee, Timber 2.0
FNGs: None
COUNT: 11
CONDITIONS: Nice at start

WARMUP: SSH, BACs, BAC BACs, WMH

THE THANG: LIGHTNING!

MOLESKINE: We had a doughnut for the winner of Bear tag.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: didn’t get there

COT: Lightning rolled in during warmups. We made the smart choice and called it off instead of pushing through and risking the safety of the PAX and most importantly the 2.0s that were present. Makes me think a lot about modeling the right behavior for our kids and setting good examples. None of us wanted to leave today, but we showed the 2.0s present what responsible decision making looks like and that’s just as important as a few merkins in the rain in the gloom. Tclaps to you guys!
