It's been a busy week (but what week isn't?) Last Saturday, the graduate students in my department got together for some teambuilding activities at our recreation center. I thought that we could use some bonding and a social activity outside of our usual happy hours. We had a good turnout and everyone had lots of fun. We did lots of teambuilding games on the ground and then we went up in the air on the ropes course. Check out the pics (courtesy of my friend Chris).
This was an activity in which we had to move our team from a "sinking" ship to a life raft. It seemed like an impossible task, but we got everyone swinging on the rope from one side to the other and saved everyone on our team. After some games on the ground, we moved on to the ropes course. We split up into 2 groups: one group went on the course that was 25 feet up in the air and the other embarked on the course 40 feet up in the air. First we had to become familiar with the equipment and learn about the ropes course safety. Here we are on the practice course.

And here we are up in the air. I was on the lower course, which was definitely high enough for me. The ropes course definitely brought us closer together! (A mutual fear of heights will do that to you!)
Here is our group at the end of the day. It was an exhausting, but exhilarating day. We are all smiles here!
