@manuvert, I've missed some things; what happened to Kaia? How did she get hurt? I hope it wasn't too serious!
The vine on the tree; is that Virginia Creeper something else? It looks like Virginia Creeper which also reminds me of poison oak.
Good luck in your upcoming marathon! I am sure you will do well.
Excellent job with your 11498 @actifit steps for the day. Take care!
